Stabilizer Bar Disconnect indicators

Stabilizer Bar Disconnect

These are Stabilizer Bar Disconnect indicators from a system used by Toyota. Stabilizer bar disconnect is a feature that allows the front stabilizer bar to be disconnected automatically for off-road use. This allows for increased front wheel articulation to improve capability and comfort on off-road terrain.

When activated, the gray indicator is illuminated (first image) indicating that the system is on standby. The stabilizer bar disconnects when the vehicle speed is below 20 mph (32 km/h) and the yellow/amber/orange indicator illuminates (second image). If the vehicle speed exceeds 20 mph (32 km/h), the stabilizer bar reconnects and the gray indicator is shown again, indicating the system has returned to standby mode.

This one is also used in Toyota vehicles. It is an SDM (Stabilizer with Disconnection Mechanism) indicator.  It works very similarly to the system discussed above as it switches conditions
of the front stabilizer to maintain vehicle stability and drivability on paved road and off-road situations.

The indicator remains in black and white but while the stabilizer is being locked or unlocked, the SDM indicator will flash.
