VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM VSC OFF Indicator Light Remains ON

DESCRIPTION

• The skid control ECU is connected to the combination meter via the CAN and multiplex communication systems.

• When the VSC OFF switch is operated, the system switches between normal mode, TRC off mode and VSC off mode.

  When the VSC OFF switch is pressed and held for 3 seconds or more with the vehicle stopped, the system enters VSC off mode and TRC and VSC are disabled.

  When TRC and VSC are disabled, the TRC OFF indicator light and VSC OFF indicator light comes on in the combination meter.

  Tech Tips

  If the VSC system is malfunctioning, the VSC OFF switch is disabled.
