Disable Shift Light

look down at your clutch, push it all the way in (with the car off)  and then twist and remove the positioning sensor.  its been debated on FJ that it improves low end torque, by tricking the car into believing it never shifts it doesnt pull timing to shift.

seats of the pants it feels likes it works, start in 1st gear, going 10km, then just FLOOR it.  not a gradual floor, straight up BOOM to the floor.  then take the sensor out and d it again, you will notice something.

and the arrow won't light up anymore :)

Wow, amazed that it took someone THAT long to mention that. Make sure the car is off when you do it, or else you'll throw a CEL. There are no adverse effects to doing so. I ran mine that way for months... and know several others that have as well, all with no adverse effects.

I eventually had mine re-set to be a shift light when I got my chip...
