1.CHECK FOR INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS
HINT:
A momentary interruption (open circuit) in the connectors and/or wire harness between the sensors and ECUs
can be detected in the ECU data monitor function of the hand-held tester.
a. Turn the ignition switch off and connect the hand-held tester to the DLC3.
b. Turn the ignition switch on. Follow the on-screen directions on the hand-held tester to display the DATA
LIST and select areas where momentary interruption should be monitored.
HINT:
A momentary interruption (open circuit) cannot be detected for 3 seconds after the ignition switch is
turned on (initial check).

HINT:
If the hand-held tester's status remains open, check the continuity between the ECU and the
sensors, or between ECUs.
The OPEN display on the hand-held tester remains on for 1 second after the harness signal changes
from momentary interruption (open circuit) to normal condition.
c. While observing the screen, gently jiggle the connector or wire harness between the ECU and sensors, or
between ECUs.
Result: OPEN-screen display does not change.
HINT:
The connector and/or wire harness will be in momentary interruption (open circuit) if the chart fluctuates.
Repair or replace connector and/or wire harness as one of them is fault
y.

2.CLEAR ZERO POINT CALIBRATION
a. Clearing the DTCs.
1. Connect the han
d-held tester to the DLC3.
Page 22 of 4500
2. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
3. Operate the hand-held tester to erase the codes.
HINT:
Refer to the hand-held tester operator's manual for further details.
Check if "VSC" is displayed on the multi-information display.
3.PERFORM ZERO POINT CALIBRATION OF YAW RATE SENSOR AND DECELERATION
SENSOR
a. Check that the steering wheel is in the straight-ahead position and move the shift lever to the P
position.
b. Connect the hand-held tester to the DLC3.
c. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
d. Operate the hand-held tester to test mode.
e. Obtain the zero point of the yaw rate sensor and deceleration sensor:
1. Keep the vehicle in the stationar
y condition on a level surface for 2 seconds or more.

2. Check that the display changes to "VSC Test" on the multi-information display.
HINT:
"VSC" is displayed while obtaining the zero point. "VSC Test" is displayed when it is
completed.
The zero point calibration is performed only once after the system enters the test mode.
Calibration cannot be performed again until the stored data is cleared once.
f. Turn the ignition switch off.
1.WARNING LIGHT AND INDICATOR LIGHT CHECK
a. Release the parking brake pedal.
