ABS indicator, brake system indicator, and VSA indicator do not go off

Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0), or press the engine start/stop button to select the OFF mode.
Check the No. 6 (7.5 A) fuse in the driver's under-dash fuse/relay box.
Is the fuse blown?

YES -Go to step 3.

NO -Reinstall the checked fuse, then go to step 12.
Disconnect the VSA modulator-control unit 47P connector (see step 5 ).
Disconnect the yaw rate-lateral acceleration sensor 4P connector (see YAW RATE-LATERAL ACCELERATION SENSOR REPLACEMENT ), or the yaw rate-lateral/longitudinal acceleration sensor 4P connector (see YAW RATE-LATERAL/LONGITUDINAL ACCELERATION SENSOR REPLACEMENT ).
With SH-AWD: Disconnect the steering angle sensor 5P connector (see STEERING ANGLE SENSOR REPLACEMENT ).
NOTE: Without SH-AWD, the steering angle sensor is not powered by IG1.
Check for continuity between VSA modulator-control unit 47P connector terminal No. 8 and body ground.

Is there continuity?

YES -Repair a short to body ground in the wire between the No. 6 (7.5 A) fuse in the driver's under-dash fuse/relay box and the VSA modulator-control unit, the yaw rate-lateral acceleration sensor (Without SH-AWD), or the yaw rate-lateral/longitudinal acceleration sensor, and the steering angle sensor (With SH-AWD).

NO -Install a new No. 6 (7.5 A) fuse in the driver's under-dash fuse/relay box, then go to step 7.
Reconnect the VSA modulator-control unit 47P connector.
Reconnect the yaw rate-lateral acceleration sensor 4P connector or the yaw rate-lateral/longitudinal acceleration sensor 4P connector.
With SH-AWD: Reconnect the steering angle sensor 5P connector.
Turn the ignition switch to ON (II), or press the engine start/stop button to select the ON mode.
Check the ABS indicator, the brake system indicator, and the VSA indicator for several seconds when the ignition switch is turned to ON (II), or press the engine start/stop button to select the ON mode.
Do the indicators come on then go off?

YES -Troubleshooting is complete.

NO -Replace the VSA modulator-control unit (see VSA MODULATOR-CONTROL UNIT REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION ).
Do the gauge control module troubleshooting (see SELF-DIAGNOSTIC FUNCTION ).
Is the gauge control module OK?

YES -Go to step 13.

NO -Substitute a known-good gauge control module (see GAUGE CONTROL MODULE REPLACEMENT ). If it is OK, replace the original gauge control module (see GAUGE CONTROL MODULE REPLACEMENT ).
Disconnect the VSA modulator-control unit 47P connector (see step 5 ).
Turn the ignition switch to ON (II), or press the engine start/stop button to select the ON mode.
Measure the voltage between VSA modulator-control unit 47P connector terminal No. 8 and body ground.

Is there battery voltage?

YES -Go to step 16.

NO -Repair an open in the wire between the No. 6 (7.5 A) fuse in the driver's under-dash fuse/relay box and the VSA modulator-control unit.
Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0), or press the engine start/stop button to select the OFF mode.
Check for continuity between VSA modulator-control unit 47P connector terminal No. 16 and body ground.

Is there continuity?

YES -Go to step 18.

NO -Repair an open in the wire between the VSA modulator-control unit and body ground (G202).
Disconnect the gauge control module 32P connector (see GAUGE CONTROL MODULE REPLACEMENT ).

Check for continuity between the VSA modulator-control unit 47P connector terminal and gauge control module 32P connector terminal (see table).

Is there continuity?

YES -Go to step 20.

NO -Repair an open in the wire between the gauge control module and the VSA modulator-control unit.

Reconnect all connectors.
Update the VSA modulator-control unit if it does not have the latest software (see VSA MODULATOR-CONTROL UNIT UPDATE ). If the unit already has the latest software, substitute a known-good VSA modulator-control unit (see VSA MODULATOR-CONTROL UNIT REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION ).
Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0), then turn it to ON (II) again, or select the OFF mode, then the ON mode.
Check the ABS indicator, the brake system indicator, and the VSA indicator for several seconds when the ignition switch is turned to ON (II), or press the engine start/stop button to select the ON mode.
Do the indicators come on then go off?

YES -If the VSA modulator-control unit was updated, troubleshooting is complete. If the VSA modulator-control unit was substituted, replace the original VSA modulator-control unit (see VSA MODULATOR-CONTROL UNIT REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION ).

NO -Check for loose terminals in the VSA modulator-control unit 47P connector. If the VSA modulator-control unit was updated, substitute a known-good VSA modulator-control unit (see VSA MODULATOR-CONTROL UNIT REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION ), then retest. If the VSA modulator-control unit was substituted, go to step 1.
