Vehicle Stability Control System: Calibration
- DESCRIPTION
- After replacing the VSC relevant components or performing "Front wheel alignment adjustment", clear and read the sensor calibration data.
- Follow the chart to perform calibration.
REPLACING PARTS / OPERATION CHARTReplacing Parts / Operation Necessary Operation Skid Control ECU Yaw rate and acceleration sensor zero point calibration. Yaw Rate and Acceleration Sensor - Clearing zero point calibration data.
- Yaw rate and acceleration sensor zero point calibration.
Front Wheel Alignment Adjustment - Clearing zero point calibration data.
- Yaw rate and acceleration sensor zero point calibration.
- CLEAR ZERO POINT CALIBRATION (WHEN USING INTELLIGENT TESTER)
- Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
- Turn the engine switch on (IG).
- Operate the intelligent tester to erase the codes (select "RESET MEMORY").
HINT:
Refer to the intelligent tester operator's manual for further details.
- PERFORM ZERO POINT CALIBRATION OF YAW RATE AND ACCELERATION SENSOR (WHEN USING INTELLIGENT TESTER) NOTE:
- While obtaining the zero point, do not vibrate the vehicle by tilting, moving or shaking it and keep it stationary. (Do not start the engine.)
- Be sure to do this on a level surface (with an inclination of less than 1 degree).
- Procedures for test mode.
- Check that the steering wheel is centered and move the shift lever to the P position.
- Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
- Turn the engine switch on (IG).
- Set the intelligent tester to test mode (select "TEST MODE").
HINT:
Refer to the intelligent tester operator's manual for further details.
- Obtain the zero point of the yaw rate and acceleration sensor.
- Keep the vehicle stationary on a level surface for 2 seconds or more.
- Check that the VSC warning light blinks and "VSC TEST MODE" is displayed on the multi-information display (test mode).
HINT:
- If the VSC warning light does not blink and/or "VSC TEST MODE" is not displayed on the multi-information display, perform zero point calibration again.
- The zero point calibration is performed only once after the system enters the test mode.
- Calibration cannot be performed again until the stored data is cleared once.
- Turn the engine switch off and disconnect the intelligent tester.
- CLEAR ZERO POINT CALIBRATION (WHEN USING SST CHECK WIRE)
- Turn the engine switch on (IG).
- Using SST, connect and disconnect terminals TS and CG of the DLC3 4 times or more within 8 seconds.
SST 09843-18040
- Check that the multi-information display indicates the normal system code.
- Remove the SST from the terminals of the DLC3.
- Using a check wire, perform zero point calibration of the yaw rate and acceleration sensor.
