HINT: If the ignition switch is turned from ON to ACC or LOCK during test mode, DTC will be erased.Check the VSC sensor signal.
1. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
2. Check that the shift lever position is at P range, turn the steering wheel to the neutral position.
3. Using SST, connect terminals Ts and E1 of DLC1.

4. Start the engine and check that the "VSC TEST" displays on the multi-information display.
5. (After the battery terminal cable is connected, the first time only):
Check the zero point calibration of the yaw rate sensor.
Start the engine and keep the vehicle in the stationary condition on the flat place for 3 sec. or more.
HINT: If the "VSC TEST" does not display on the multi-information display, inspect the VSC warning indicator circuit and Ts terminal circuit.
6. Check the steering angle sensor.
Turn the steering wheel either to left or right for 450 or more from the vehicle stationary condition, and turn back the steering wheel to the straight ahead position.
7. Check the yaw rate sensor.
Shift the shift lever to the D range and drive the vehicle at the vehicle speed about 5kph (3 mph), turn the steering wheel either to left or right for 900 or more, and maintain 180° circular drive for the vehicle.
Stop the vehicle and shift the shift lever to the P range, check that the VSC buzzer sounds for 3 seconds.
- If the VSC buzzer sounded, the sensor check is in normal completion.
- If the VSC buzzer does not sound, do the sensor check again.
- If the VSC buzzer still won't sound, there is malfunction in the VSC sensor, so check the DTC.
HINT:
- The vehicle direction should be within 1800° ± 5° at the time of the circular drive start and end positions.
- Do not spin the rear wheels.
8. Using SST, connect terminals Tc and E1 of DLC1.

HINT: At this time, "DIAG" is displayed on the multi-information display.
9. Push the function key of the steering switch until "VSC" will be displayed on the multi-information display.
10. Read the number of displays on the multi-information display.
HINT:
- See the list of DTC shown below.
- If 2 or more malfunction are indicated at the same time, the lowest numbered code will be displayed 1st.
11. After doing the check, disconnect the SST from terminals Ts and E1, Tc and E1 of DLC1, and turn ignition switch OFF.
