2. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
3. Read the DTC from multi-information display on the combination meter.
HINT:
At this time, "VSC OK", is displayed when VSC system is in normal condition. If any DTC is
detected, "VSC 31", for example, will be displayed.
If there are 2 or more DTC, DTC will be displayed in ascending order of the number.
If no code appears, inspect the VSC warning information circuit and TC and CG terminal circuit.

5.END OF CHECK/CLEAR
a. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position
b. Check that the ABS warning lamp go off within approximately 3 seconds.
c. Check that "VSC" does not appear on the multi information display.
1.FREEZE FRAME DATA
HINT:

Whenever a DTC is detected or the ABS operates, the skid control ECU stores the current vehicle
(sensor) state as freeze frame data.
The skid control ECU stores the number of times (maximum: 31) the ignition switch has been turned
from off to the ON position since the last time ABS was activated. However, if the vehicle was stopped or
at low speed (4.3 mph (7 km/h) or less), or if a DTC is detected, the skid control ECU will not count the
number after that.
Freeze frame data at the time the ABS operates:
The skid control ECU stores and updates data whenever the ABS system operates.
When the ECU stores data at the time a DTC is detected, the data stored when the ABS operated is
erased.
Freeze frame data at the time a DTC is detected:
When the skid control ECU stores data at the time a DTC is detected, no updates will be performed until
the data is cleared.
a. Connect the hand-held tester to the DLC3.
b. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
c. From the display on the tester, select the "FREEZE FRAME DATA".

HINT:
Performing the ACTIVE TEST using the hand-held tester allows the relay and actuator, etc. to operate without
removing any parts. Performing the ACTIVE TEST as the first step of troubleshooting is one of the methods to
shorten labor time.
It is possible to display the DATA LIST during the ACTIVE TEST.
a. Connect the hand-held tester to the DLC3.
b. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
c. According to the display on the tester, perform the "ACTIVE TEST
".
HINT:
Ignition switch must be turned to the ON position to proceed to the Active Test using the hand-held tester.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
If trouble occurs in the engine control system, the ECM transmits the abnormality to the skid control ECU. The
skid control ECU sets this DTC and the skid control ECU prohibits TRAC and VSC control.
