Car troubles

Post by 6pumps »

Hey just wondering if anyone can help me
I have a 2013 hilux and when ever I tow my boat my abs light comes on randomly that is the first thing
Then also when I first start towing my boat I will be acelarating then I loose acceleration I have to take me foot of the accelerator then back on but this only accures when I first start towing for the first ten min

But I did have this accelerater problem once or twice before with my last boat

Any help would be great

ABS light comes on due to a poor earth connection between the trailer and the car. The second issue I don't have an idea.

I tend to agree with Louis.Very likely the trailer plug connections.Try towing without the plug connected and see if the problem still occurs.
