My ABS brake system light comes on under conditions of cold (around freezing) and damp weather. Once the vehicle has warmed up the light goes off, but the ats doesn't work until that happens. Toyota refuses to address the issue. They claim no one has filed a complaint. The truck is under warranty and they will not replace any parts.
