Brake Override Malfunction Error on a 3rd Gen Toyota Tacoma - How to fix? | VLOG #60 

Im beyond grateful for this video. I have the same truck with the same problem. Happened after trying to plug in new taillights. I was near tears thinking the rat problem im experiencing got ahold of my harness. Thank you so much! You solved my problem and saved me lots of money. SUBSCRIBED

I just want to say I LOVE YOU!!!! This just happened to me, and I’m glad I had extra fuses and don’t have to bring it to the stealership, this after to me 2 days after replacing the speakers, which I can’t fathom why it would affect the breaks

THANK YOU!!!! Other internet sources told me to take it to the dealership. I was contemplating a tow truck and huge repair bill. You saved me.

Thank you so very much for the fix on my 19 Tacoma! Worked like a charm. I was on the end of my rural mail route when the gear shift locked up when I turned off the truck. You’re a lifesaver!!! TY! TY!

THANK YOU! Replacing the fuse worked! We are currently snowed/iced in so you helped tremendously. Beyond grateful in Alabama!

Thanks for sharing. Went out to my truck tonight to go pick up some pizza and had this error. Watched your video and went right to the problem like I knew what I was doing.

On a Sunday during a long holiday weekend at a campsite … not too shabby of a place to get stranded 😊 … especially with that good, comfy looking trailer setup. Thanks for sharing. You’ll never know this video will come in handy.

This video saved me. My fuse blew when I was trying wire in a third bake light on a truck camper.

Glad all is well and you were able to troubleshoot the problem hope you and your wife enjoyed your wilderness time...be safe!

What a life saver . Tried this on a similar year Toyota Hilux and it worked… much appreciated from 🇿🇼

Thanks brother! Solved the issue on my GX460 aka Prado as well. I was stranded 2 hrs from a dealer

THANK YOU so much for this info! My wife JUST had this issue on her 2019 Sequoia. The STOP fuse was blown. I replaced it and problem solved. You likely saved us a few hundred dollars or more!

Thank you so much for this information. I was having the same issue with my 2021 Tacoma and did exactly what you described and it worked! It saved me a lot of time and money from going to the dealership. Thanks again!

Seriously, you are awesome! Thanks for the video. You saved my night.

I am truly grateful to you for this helpful video. My newly bought truck had the same problem and your video saved me. ❤ Thanks a million

Good Find and troubleshooting pare!

I had the same problem and you saved me so much time and money. Thank you so much!!!

Thanks for the share Mod Xela! I hope it doesn't happen to me but great to know just in case!

Thank you for sharing. That light has came on for me while going down the road twice now. It slows me down so I can't go over about 50-55mph. First time I was an hour from home. Disconnected the battery for a while, reconnected and was fine for several months. Second time was a few days ago. I made it home driving really slow, started up the next day just fine with no break override malfunction, but now I have a check engine light on.

Thanks I had an identical problem. Your video was the best out there on the topic. My only concern is if it will happen again. I guess I better get a few 10 amp spares>

I can’t tell you how much I appreciate you making this video! I am almost 66 years old and a woman and had the same code come up. It is kind of unhinging. Because of your video, I was able to fix my own truck by myself and not have to go to the mechanic. Thank you so very much!

Thanks for your video it’s help a lot. 😊

Do NOT use those cheap LED circuit resistors, things melted the tail light harnesses. Had the brake override come up, day was already screwed up, messed up more. This video help me a bunch, thank you! Removed those stupid led resistors!! (They heat up a lot)

Thanks so much for this video, had the same problem with a hilux while towing a trailer. Worked perfectly. Cheers

you're a life saver, just did the same thing when I installed new taillights lol

Thank you bro..! Greatly appreciate for your video..!

Just saved me brother. Thank for posting this vid.

This was a life saver

Omg took me half a day to come to this video and it saves my life. Thank you for the video. How much do I owe you now ? Cause the dealer would’ve charged me an arm and a leg for this.

If its not the fuse you can also reset it by restarting your truck 6-10 times.

Thank u

I have a 2023 Tacoma SR 4x4 with less than 2k miles on it. Had the Brake Override Malfunction Error, the truck barely moved in driveway. Had it towed to Toyota dealer. After 2 days they claimed they fixed it after replacing a fuse, went to pick it up and as I waited for service guy to pull truck up to me the error activated again as he started it up. Left truck for another 5 days. Dealer claimed they had someone from corporate Toyota show up to help them because they could not figure out the issue. They ended up replacing the throttle body. So far so good. I will say prior to me getting the brake override malfunction error, the truck was idling a little high and the RPM's would pulse up and down a little high while in park...then into drive at idle speed. Also, recently prior to getting the brake override malfunction error I had happen one time where I was driving at slow speed maybe around 30-40mph and when I went to to give some throttle to speed up for a split second there was no response in throttle at all then it kicked in, was a very short of no response to stepping on the throttle. I was going to take the truck into the dealer for those issues but shortly after I got the brake override malfunction error. At the end of the day I now believe the problem was the throttle body due to the events that led to getting the final death blow error. I hope this can help someone who perhaps checked all the other things that could possibly give the brake override malfunction error.

Mine start showing evey sing after when I oil change and it's 2018 toyota camry what should I do? I went back to dealer they said it's not our problem

FYI this also works on 5th gen 4runner! I just did it on mine!

This happens twice to me with a 2017 stick shift Tacoma After a couple of day I was able to drive it All wheels were locked Any comments on what to do Since mine is a stick shit not sure if that is the same fix as an automatic

Hola me paso lo mismo me Funciono tu tutorías pero la palanca de velocidades sigue sin mover

I hve the problem with my Brake Hold Malfunction. I guess it happenes after i installed the not quality brake pads. Too much brake dusts. I haven't change it at tge dealer

Did you have the Pedal Commander on your truck?

I might have missed it but how did you figure that it was a fuse? Also, I wonder what caused it to blow?

Same model same year same problem. Sure enough fuse blown. replaced and same problem came back . Bottom line for me diid not fix did not work. New fuse I put in was not blown. Pushed down to reseat relays on every one still will not let me shift out of park and comes up with warning

Im having this issue and followed the instructions step by step and still it’s not starting.. what now?

I am stuck with only some WiFi...can't watch video. Can someone please comment what I need to do? Waiting on tow truck out in the middle of nowhere.

@everyone what steps to take? I can't play the video

Bring the Toyota Hilux diesel to America 😔

i changed the fuse but the same thing keeps happening

Even though this electrical failure was staged, rehearsed and orchestrated as actual, it might be helpful if someone feels compelled to be that duck with the broken wing.
