Well and intercooler wont help you smoke a D-max. You'll need alot more then that to take on a duracrap and even be able to compete.

Sounds Vehicle Speed Sensor related to me, might wanna check it out.

Most times when a CPS fails it won't leave a code. As for your TC issues check all your brake light bulbs and brake switch connections.

And welcome to FTE!
