How to install an aftermarket TRD Pro Grille on a 2021 Toyota Tacoma. Thus far I've driven 80 miles and have had zero issues with the TSS sensor. The washer trick seems to work. I'll provide another update later.

I just have to say thanks for making this video, there's a few videos out there for this style of grill replacement but yours may be the best one I've seen. I also took your advice and just went ahead and installed a washer when mounting the tss unit and never received any tss warnings.

Hey Sean! Great video. Thanks for making it for all of us that want this mod. I wanted to add that I lifted my 22 Taco 6", had the codes cleared, and the safety light never came back on. I just ordered the TRD Pro Grill and TSS garnish and hope to just clear the codes if it happens again. Thanks again for the video!

If this helps anyone, I used a washer on my 2021 Tacoma off road and everything is fine. No lights on the cluster. 30 minutes job thanks to this video. I haven't tried to put the sensor without the washer, I just did what the video showed and it works.

There is no difference in the looks for a gen 3. Only the grills and, trd pro bed stamp for 2022 and newer, and the TRD Pro door emblems on pre 2022 models. Those are the only differences. If you don't have a trd pro, then nothing changed except for the grille. If you like the trd pro grille on the 2020 and newer trucks, you'll like it on the 2019 and older gen 3 tacomas because they're identical.

The “tss” sensor you’re referring to is a radar for your radar cruise control. Since you’ve moved it’s position relative to the grill it needs to be recalibrated. A washer may keep the “tss” light off but it isn’t the correct fix. If the radar isn’t recalibrated for the new position your radar cruise won’t function as well as it did before.

@emighe 3 жыл бұрын

I just did it to mine, and no problem at all. I tested the cruise control and worked great. Dont know it it recalibrated itself.

@SeanS54 3 жыл бұрын

I don't really use cruise control so I haven't test that yet... but the TSS for lane departure works as normal.

@WombRaider7878 3 жыл бұрын

@@SeanS54 the LDA works off your camera up by the mirror. Grille looks sick. I just don't want to risk needing to get the TSS recalibrated. That costs 500 or more. It's a hugely tedious process to do involving plumbobs, strings, and the Toyota diagnostics computer.

I really wish there was a permanent delete option for the tss. I realize that you can turn it off, but you have to do that each and every time you start the vehicle (annoying). If you simply unplug it you’ll get a permanent check engine light (annoying).

Hey...I know Im not Sean but I had the same issue and I had even purchased an aftermarket UCA. It was rubbing the rear of the fender and the cab mount. The guys that installed the lift didnt know how to align it properly. I took it to another guy at an alignment shop and he was telling me that Toyotas are finicky and sometimes you have to play around with things. He moved the lower control arms and the problem was solved and this was with 33's the wheels have a 0 offset. You prob already have it taken care of by now...but just thought i would throw that in.
