2020 Toyota Hilux P0500
Initially someone wired up the trailer plug wrong and grounded the tail light feed. Our technician went out and
repaired the damage and fitted a trailer module at the back, connected to the tail light feeds and with a 12v feed
running down from the battery.
Then they called us and said "something you did " has the traction and engine lights coming on.
I had a look at it and cleared some codes in the ABS module for low voltage and open circuit RR wheel speed sensor.
Also in the pre-collision module there were codes U012587 "lost comm multi axis YAW rate sensor"
and U010087 "lost comm PCM".
After clearing all these codes the lights no longer come on when driving the vehicle. BUT: P0500 comes right back in the
ECU. The engine light hasn't come on again yet but P0500 shows as a pending code.
The speedometer works fine, the ABS module shows vehicle speed - but there is no vehicle speed in live data
in the engine ECU.
Does anyone know where the VSS is on a 2020 Hilux?

Then all the warning lights came up on the dash so the owner took it to the dealers. The dealers couldn't figure it out and said "It's the trailer wiring that's causing the problem". Surely if they can work that out they can fix it. The other, most likely solution is that they haven't a clue so needed something to blame.

I concluded that perhaps one was for activating the diff lock and the other was perhaps a switch to confirm that it was locked.
I'm also wondering why a modern vehicle with canbus and vehicle speed from the ABS system would even need another speed sensor?

Been giving it some more thought. Monday morning I will double check the wiring to the diff and see where they go to. It may just be in there.Matt T wrote: So this truck has had the factory bed replaced with something? VSS might be in the rear diff......

all the other modules. Behind the radio is a black connector wit all the speed signals splitting up. Most likely due to
the worker [won't refer to them as a technician] who bolted the tail light feed to ground, then swapped fuses around,
there is a burnt wire in the harness which was melted to the VSS signal wire. After moving that wire we now have vehicle speed
in live data. [note: the Launch CRP123X is a brilliant little scan tool]
