Exclamation VSC, 4LO indicators on and no power

My 5.7 crewmax has VSC light flashing, 4LO light on, skid icon and differential check icon lit and engine has little power.
I called my dealer and was told it was a fuse under the dash.
All fuses are OK. Any suggestions?

Dealer found problem

Thanks litundra the post was helpful.
The dealer found that the problem is a stuck air valve that controls the air and fuel mixture. They thought they would have me running again in a couple of days only to find out the part is back ordered and will not be in for a week. Makes me question why I left Chevy and Ford!

Angry Backordered value

The dealer just called me and told me the air valve is not going to be in for another WEEK MINIMUM could be TWO more WEEKS.
I don't understand why Tundra would have parts that it takes 3 weeks or more for the dealer to get. I can't have a $48,000 truck tied up at the dealer for that long. I will be truck shopping this afternoon at the Chevrolet and Ford dealers.

Sorry to hear about your woes with the backordered part fishhead, but IMHO, they should provide you transportation while you are waiting. Did you ask? And, if you end up going to a Ford or Chevy, I wish you the best of luck... you're gonna need it, lol!

dont think toyota should be the one to blame here. all makes have parts backordered. it happens to the best of them. i understand your frustration i would feel the same way. i have been in your shoes before. are they atleast helping out with a loaner truck or something seeing as how the truck is utterly useless without any power? thats what i would be complaining about

I would be looking more closely at the dealership than the company. It seems to me that it should be their responsibility to keep a reasonable amount of parts on hand. I had my entire dash replaced and it only took two days to get the parts in. Of course I had the truck during that time.

Loaner

The dealer offered to rent me a Tacoma when it comes back in in a day or two but I pull a 7000 pound trailer to run fishing tournaments each weekend and the Tacoma would not be much help.

Sorry for your issues. I would be angry as well, not to the point to give up the best truck out on the market. If you do decide to buy a Cheby or a Furd, come back to the site and let us know how you think they compare to the Tundra.
If your thinking on a Cheby, better hope the goverments idea of warranty really holds true.
