o8 tundra traction control, vsc off light came on

So it's just getting broke in now at 237,457 miles and this morning when I started it up to warm up like I do everyday, it made a clunk sound like it was being put in gear and then the traction control light and vsc off light came on. The vsc off light is flashing y'all got any ideas?

My '08 Tundra did this after I tried to disengage 4-wheel drive while trying to make a sharp turn. Turned the truck off then back on and it cleared those lights but threw a check engine light. I had the code read (Don't know what code it was... something about center differential lock blah blah blah).

I cleared the code and haven't had any issues with it since. ( Been a few weeks)


Edit: If the 4-wheel drive light (either one) is flashing also, it could be stuck in 4-high or 4-low. Cycle the switch and see if it helps.

The main reason I'm asking if the low light was flashing is because we have a new TSB about the 07 and up tundras. The air injection pump fails, and it will throw the truck into a limp mode where the CEL, vsc, and trac off lights are on, the 4low light flashes and the truck is limited to 30mph.

-edit-guess i shoulda asked if the CEL was on also...

Well as it turns out, I did the exact same thing. And it fixed mine as well but I did not have any check engine lights come on. When I read what you wrote and thought back that I had done that exact thing, I did the turning off the key trick and it seems to be good now. I will be more careful about that from now on. Thanks guys!!! On a side note, these Tundra's are very impressive trucks. The one I drive is a company truck and I love it. When I find "the one" I want, I will be owning one for myself!!!
