I have a 2002 Sequoia Limited. My question is this. It has the home link system with 3 black buttons up on the console by the moon roof & rearview mirror which have white dots on them that are illuminated at night, 1st button having 1 dot, 2nd button having 2 dots and the 3rd button having 3 dots, meaning garage door 1, garage door 2 and garage door 3. When I purchased it new in 2002, the white dots on the buttons for the home link garage door openers were illuminated so you could see which button to push for whatever garage door you wanted to open. Over the past 16 months, the buttons are no longer illuminated. They have gone out 1 at a time. I know this for a fact because I drive at night and when I come home I would simply look up, see which button had the 3 illuminated dots on it and push it for my side of the garage to open. The dealership I bought my Sequoia at that also services it, has had no luck getting the buttons lit up again. I have been told repeatedly that they were never lit. They have called the factory and have looked at books and nobody can figure it out. Is it possible that the buttons may have had something like a "glow in the dark" paint on them and it has rubbed off? Did they only have the illuminated buttons on the 2002? This is driving me crazy since now I am opening all the other doors on my house but the right one because I can't see the little 3 white dots anymore! I also have a 2003 4-Runner Limited but the 3 buttons for the home link in this vehicle are grey rubber, no illumination, that is why I believe they may have taken this option out of the Toyota lineup. Any help would be appreciated! Sorry this post is so long, just very frustrated that I am constantly being told that they were never lit when I know they were.
HAVE YOU FOUND YOURS YET?
Thanks again!

gkatz1 - could you email me the link to the TSB's? I want to see if some of them (front brakes) have been applied to my car.
Thanks!!!
When I am going down any significant incline (hill) and I brake for more than 2 seconds (reducing my speed), my 2WD Sequoia downshifts forcing my RPMs up to close to 2700. This "Engine Braking" actually forces me to accelerate to maintain my momentum (speed)down hill.
I can't determine if this is a normal function or if i have a transmission issue, or if this is normal, then is it adjustable.
It is driving me crazy because i know that i am increasing my gas consumption and I am having to accelerate to complete my downhill progression.
Any information would be greatly appreciated!!!!!!

Second, as the brake fluid level gets low in the brake fluid reservoir, the VSC idiot light on the dash came on and stayed on. The dealer was kind enough to tell me that when brake fluid is low, VSC is turned off automatically. Only need to add brake fluid. This means that the brake pads are worn.
I use 4-wheel mode frequently. It appears that I could have let it alone at leat for another 30K miles without worries. Mobile synth. lube cost was about $50.
