    Hello everyone,

    I have a problem with the ABS system on my 2002 that's very annoying. When I drive the 4Runner my ABS will activate at certain combinations of speed and road curvature when I turn to the right. Doesn't matter if it's uphill, downhill or straight and level. ABS never activates when turning to the left.

    I took my 4Runner to my nearby Toyota service center. With my driving the vehicle, the service technician hooked up a code reader but couldn't get any codes for ABS system failure other than a code indicating ABS had activated.

    Any ideas on how to proceed?

    Aloha!

    Dumb question but ABS is activating when you're braking and turning right? I'd see if independent shops can take a look. There's more to diagnosis than a code reader and sadly it can be hit-and-miss finding your "Dr. House" for this patient.
