CALIBRATION
1. DESCRIPTION
(a) After replacing components relating to the VSC or
performing "Front wheel alignment adjustment",
clear and read the sensor calibration data.
(b) Follow the chart to perform calibration.
2. CLEAR ZERO POINT CALIBRATION DATA (When
Using Intelligent Tester)
(a) Clear the zero point calibration data.
(1) Connect the intelligent tester (with CAN VIM) to
the DLC3.
(2) Turn the ignition switch ON.
(3) Operate the intelligent tester to erase the codes
(select "Reset Memory").
HINT:
Refer to the intelligent tester operator's manual
for further details.
(4) Using the intelligent tester, perform the zero
point calibration of the yaw rate and deceleration
sensor.
CAUTION:
If the ignition switch is turned ON for more
than 15 seconds with the shift lever in the P
position after zero point of the yaw rate and
acceleration sensor has been cleared, only
the zero point of the yaw rate sensor will be
stored. If the vehicle is driven under this
condition, the skid control ECU will
recognize that zero point calibration of the
acceleration sensor is not completed and will
indicate that there is a malfunction in the
VSC system using the indicator light.
Replacing Parts / Operation Necessary Operation
Skid Control ECU Yaw rate and deceleration sensor zero point calibration.
Yaw Rate Sensor 1. Clearing zero point calibration data
2. Yaw rate and deceleration sensor zero point calibration
Front Wheel Alignment Adjustment 1. Clearing zero point calibration data
2. Yaw rate and deceleration sensor zero point calibration
