DTC (VSA)

  1. VSA modulator-control unit communication check

    - 1. Start the engine.

    - 2. Check for communication between the VSA modulator-control unit and the HDS.

    Is there communication between the VSA modulator-control unit and the HDS?

    YES 

    Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time. Refer to intermittent failures troubleshooting - Refer to:

    How to Troubleshoot the VSA System (2014 2015 2016) or

    How to Troubleshoot the VSA System (2017 2018 2019 2020) 

    If the freeze data/on-board snapshot of this DTC is recorded, try to reproduce the failure under the same conditions with the freeze data/on-board snapshot.

    NO 

    Go to step 2.

  2. Open wire check (F-CAN A_H, F-CAN A_L lines)

    - 1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

    - 2. Jump the SCS line with the HDS, and wait more than 1 minute.

    - 3. Disconnect the following connectors.

    VSA modulator-control unit 38P connector
    PCM connector A (51P)

    - 4. Check for continuity between test points 1 and 2.

    Is there continuity?

    YES 

    The F-CAN A_H and F-CAN A_L wires are OK. Check for loose terminals and poor connections in the VSA modulator-control unit 38P connector. If they are OK, replace the VSA modulator-control unit .

    NO 

    Repair an open in the wire between the VSA modulator-control unit and the PCM.
