VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM (for Hydraulic Brake Booster) - VSC OFF Indicator Light Remains ON


DESCRIPTION

Operation of the VSC OFF switch changes the vehicle between normal mode, TRC OFF mode and VSC OFF mode. During normal mode, pressing the VSC OFF switch for a short amount of time changes vehicle to TRC OFF mode. When the vehicle is stopped, pressing the VSC OFF switch for 3 seconds or more changes the vehicle to VSC OFF mode.
  1. When the transfer is in L4, VSC is prohibited and the VSC OFF indicator and TRC OFF indicator lights turn on.
  2. w/ Rear Differential Lock:
    When the rear differential is locked, VSC is prohibited and the VSC OFF indicator and TRC OFF indicator lights turn on. At this time, ABS is also prohibited and the ABS warning light turns on.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

NOTICE:
  1. When replacing the skid control ECU (master cylinder solenoid), perform calibration (LandCruiser RM00000452J00ZX.html).
  2. As there may be malfunctions in the transfer system related to when the transfer operates in L4, check the transfer system first (LandCruiser RM0000030AI01JX.html).
1.CHECK CAN COMMUNICATION LINE
  1. Turn the ignition switch off.

  1. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.

  1. Turn the ignition switch to ON.

  1. Turn the intelligent tester on.

  1. Select CAN Bus Check from the System Selection Menu screen and follow the prompts on the screen to inspect the CAN bus (for LHD: LandCruiser RM000000WIB0ECX.html, for RHD: LandCruiser RM000000WIB0EEX.html).

    OK:
    CAN Bus Check indicates no malfunctions in CAN communication.
