DTC (VSA)

  1. DTC check (VSA modulator-control unit)

    - 1. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.

    - 2. Clear the DTC with the HDS.

    - 3. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode, then start the engine.

    - 4. Test-drive the vehicle at 6 mph (10 km/h) or more.

    NOTE:  Drive the vehicle on the road, not on a lift.

    - 5. Check for DTCs with the HDS.

    Is DTC indicated?

    YES 

    Go to step 2.

    NO 

    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.

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

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

    - 2. Disconnect the following connector.

    VSA modulator-control unit 38P connector

    - 3. Disconnect the following connectors according to the detected DTC.

    DTC Connector
    U0100-00 PCM connector A (51P)
