Sensor Overload...

I had an opportunity to do some beach driving. The harder packed sand by the water was no issue at all. The fluff sand near the dunes was also not an issue. As long as I stayed. In the ruts and kept up my momentum. At break neck baja speeds, I joke... There was plenty of jostling around. The ruts definitely try to keep you in them. This apparently confused some of the electronics.

 

I ended up spraying the truck down. Hoping it was simply some sand. Causing a bunch of minor issues. The water didn't work and I couldn't clear the codes. An hour later I arrived at the closest Toyota Dealership. 45min and no charge later. The codes were reset and good to go. Woman mansplained to me. How the jostling and ruts caused a sort of confusion in the system. All is well now.

 

What PSI were you running on the beach?

 

15psi.

 

What beach is that?

 

North of Corolla, OBX.

 

Good looking rig! I'm surprised that it threw an error so easily.

 

Me too. I have an ICON Stage 7 on it. Had my shocks set midway. Not hard or soft.

 

How many people were out on the beach? I have only been down in August and the beach is alway packed..

 

Dang near empty!
