NOTICE:
For vehicles equipped with VSC, if wheel alignment has
been adjusted, and if suspension or underbody
components have been removed/installed or replaced, be
sure to perform the following initialization procedure in
order for the system to function normally:
1. Disconnect the negative battery terminal for more
than 2 seconds.
2. Reconnect the negative battery terminal.
3. Perform zero point calibration of the yaw rate and
acceleration sensor and test mode inspection.
