Inspection Procedure

  1. CHECK DTC FOR VSC 

    1. Check if other DTCs are recorded. (See PRE-CHECK  )

      YES: REPAIR CIRCUIT INDICATED BY OUTPUT CODE 

      NO: Go to step 2 

  2. INSPECT SKID CONTROL ECU CONNECTOR SECURELY CONNECTED (See  HOW TO TROUBLESHOOT ECU CONTROLLED SYSTEMS  ) 

    NO: CONNECT CONNECTOR TO ECU 

    YES 

  3. INSPECT SKID CONTROL ECU TERMINAL VOLTAGE (IG1 TERMINAL) 

    WHEN USING HAND-HELD TESTER: 

    1. Connect the hand-held tester to the DLC3.
    2. Start the engine.
    3. Select the DATA LIST mode on the hand-held tester.
    4. Check the voltage condition output from the ECU displayed on the hand-held tester.

    OK: "Normal" is displayed. 

    WHEN NOT USING HAND-HELD TESTER: 

    1. Disconnect the skid control ECU connector S1.
