For Vehicles Equipped With Vehicle Skid Control (VSC) System

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Toyota Land Cruiser. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
  • Check that VSC warning light is blinking.
  • Ensure that vehicle does not move using wires.
  • After the measurement, disconnect the short circuit and check that the VSC warning light is turned off when restarting the engine.
  1. Precaution when using drum tester:  When using drum tester, make sure that the ignitions system is OFF, start the engine with the diagnosis connection short-circuited between Ts and E1 of DLC1, see Fig 1 or T1 and (CG) of DLC3, see Fig 2, and take a measurement.

  2. Precaution during VSC operation: 
    1. Since VSC may be affected by removal/installation of the VSC-related parts, do not remove/install those parts unless absolutely necessary.
    2. When operating on VSC, follow the instructions in BRAKES articles, ensuring preparations and check after operations were followed.
