2011 tundra limited. - 3 dash lights randomly light up (flashing 4 wheel high, traction control light, and abs light). If I shit the truck off and weight a little and restart the truck the lights are off. Sometime they go off by themselves. Sometimes they don’t come on. What might be the problem?

Could also be loose or dirty battery connections. Inspect connections. If they have no more adjustment left I would replace them. Also check your negative battery connections on the frame and motor. A loose or dirty frame or motor ground can cause all sorts of weird issues. They will also make your alternator test lower than normal voltages.

Also, . If you look on the inside of your front tires there is a plug that has two wires it looks like it goes to the brakes

Plug tundra into a computer and got c1330 code.   I replaced the front tire sensor.   Lights are still on the dash and haven’t gone off.  I have drove over 50 miles since then and even unplug the battery for 20 minutes.  Any other ideas to get themose dash lights off?

This light will come on when the computer sees a problem that affects the performance of the engine or transmission. There are many problems that can fail that will trigger this. It could be a faulty sensor, wiring issue, module fault, etc. To see what specifically is causing the light to come on the vehicle will need to be tested with a scan tool that connects to the vehicle. This test will provide a trouble code that describes what specific system is having the problem. If you can have the vehicle scanned and can give me the code, I will be able to tell you specifically what is wrong with it. If you do not have a scan tool then you can bring your vehicle to any auto part store and they will scan it for free and give you the trouble code. I would do this ASAP so that we can determine what the problem is and keep any other problems from happening.

After we replace the front right tire sensor we got the following codes

B1242

C1330

C0200

 

not sure if some of these codes will reset after time or not since we replace that sensor.

Take the positive post off from the battery and leave off for about 5 minutes and put back on to reset the codes please.

Codes are clear. Lights are still on.  Could it be a front hub issue causing the lights.
