Vehicle Stability Control System Diagnosis System

Check the battery voltage.

Standard Voltage:

11 to 14 V

If the skid control ECU detects a malfunction, the ABS warning, brake warning, VSC OFF indicator, and slip indicator lights will come on in order to warn the driver.

The DTCs are simultaneously stored in the memory.
The DTCs can be read by connecting SST between terminals TC and CG of the DLC3 and observing the blinking pattern of the ABS warning and VSC OFF indicator lights, or by connecting the intelligent tester (Toyota Fortuner RM000000XHV09NX.html).

This system has a Test Mode (signal check) function (Toyota Fortuner RM000000XHT070X.html).
