      Result Proceed to
      DTC is not output A
      DTC is output B

      B: INSPECT CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM  (See HOW TO PROCEED WITH TROUBLESHOOTING )

      A: Go to next step 

  2. CHECK IF SKID CONTROL ECU CONNECTOR IS SECURELY CONNECTED 
    1. Check if the skid control ECU connector is securely connected.

      OK: 

      The connector is securely connected  .

      NG: CONNECT CONNECTOR TO ECU CORRECTLY 

      OK: Go to next step 

  3. CHECK BATTERY 
    1. Check the battery voltage.

      Standard Voltage: 

      11 to 14 V

      Result Proceed to
      OK A
      NG (for 2GR-FE) B
      NG (for 1AR-FE) C

      B: CHECK OR REPLACE CHARGING SYSTEM OR BATTERY (for 2GR-FE)  (See ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION )

      C: CHECK OR REPLACE CHARGING SYSTEM OR BATTERY (for 1AR-FE)  (See ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION )

      A: Go to next step 

  4. READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (VSC OFF SWITCH) 
    1. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
    2. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
    3. Select the Data List on the Techstream (See DATA LIST / ACTIVE TEST  ).

      ABS/VSC/TRAC 

      ABS/VSC/TRAC DATA LIST

      Tester Display Measurement Item/Range Normal Condition Diagnostic Note
      TRC/VSC Off Mode VSC OFF switch / NORMAL, TRC OFF or VSC OFF NORMAL: Normal mode
      TRC OFF: TRAC off mode
      VSC OFF: VSC off mode
      -
    4. Using the Techstream, check the switch condition on the Techstream changes according to VSC OFF switch operation.

      OK: 

      The Techstream display changes according to VSC OFF switch operation  .

      NG: Go to step  6

      OK: Go to next step 

  5. INSPECT COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY 
    1. Turn the ignition switch off.
    2. Turn the ignition switch to ON and check the VSC OFF indicator light will come on for approximately 3 seconds (initial check).
    3. Perform the Active Test of the combination meter (meter CPU) using the Techstream (See DATA LIST / ACTIVE TEST ).
    4. Check the accessory meter.

      Result 

      RESULT CHART

      Result Proceed to
      OK A
      NG (Initial check is normal, and the VSC OFF Indicator light does not turn on or off in accordance with the Techstream operation) B
      NG (Initial check is abnormal) C

      HINT:

      If troubleshooting has been carried out according to Problem Symptoms Table, refer back to the table and proceed to the next step before replacing the part (See PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE  ).

      B: REPLACE COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY  (See REMOVAL )

      C: REPLACE ACCESSORY METER ASSEMBLY  (See ACCESSORY METER )

      A: REPLACE BRAKE ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY  (See REMOVAL  )

  6. INSPECT VSC OFF SWITCH 
    1. Turn the ignition switch off.
    2. Disconnect the VSC OFF switch connector.
    3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance 

      RESISTANCE SPECIFICATION

      Tester Connection Switch Condition Specified Condition
      6 (+) - 3 (E) Switch is pushed In Below 1 Ω

      NG: REPLACE VSC OFF SWITCH  (See REMOVAL  )

      OK: Go to next step 

  7. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (SKID CONTROL ECU - VSC OFF SWITCH) 
    1. Disconnect the skid control ECU connector.
    2. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance 

      RESISTANCE SPECIFICATION
