Thank you for making this video clip. I took my car to dealer they told me they charge $185 to diagnose the problem and then additional charge to fix it. I followed your instruction on my 2001 ls 430 and it worked great. Thanks
DasCayman you rock. This worked for my 2001 LS430 like magic. I had replaced my right front wheel speed / break wear sensor cable but kept getting CHECK VSC because I didn't have a computer to clear the warning. It was a little tricky getting a small paper clip's ends into the two spots on the OBD, but when I did, things went exactly like your video. Thanks!
I used this method last week on my 2001 LS430. WORKED! Thank you. Took this vehicle to a mechanic and they reset codes twice without resolving the problem. Said that “soft codes” from air conditioner was the reason for VSC warning. Also, was told that in two weeks the VSC light will come back. Guess I’ll wait and see.
My middle name is Thomas so I had my doubts this would work on my 2002 430 LS. Well, I’m not doubting any longer. Took less than a couple of minutes to clear the warning light. Much thanks and appreciation.
Thank you!! Mine went on after mechanic was trying to figure out why rear air suspension was flat and air compressor would not kick in. He was unsuccessful and gave me this warning light as a gift.
Apparently all the mechanic did was lift my car up to inspect the sensors and I noticed the VSC light was on as I was driving off the lot. And it wouldn’t turn back off until I saw this video and turned it off as instructed. But now I don’t know if something is truly wrong with the VSC system 🤔 does it need to be calibrated?
Man thank you so much. This works perfectly in my LS 430 2003 left had drive... This was a pain for me since my car got repaired after the breakdown. Mechanic wanted to charge extra for it. God bless you.
I tried to do this and now my dash is absolutely going crazy. It's flashing on and off rapidly and the gauges are going up and down. My car won't even start
i just went to get my 2001 ls430 smogged and when i put the car in reverse went 5 feet the light turned on and won’t turn off i told the mechanic and he told me “my traction control could be broken from the inside” that made no sense whatsoever because no light has ever turned on until i went earlier any thoughts or help?
Followed all your steps but it never gave me the "VSC TEST" display. Still proceeded to follow thru with the rest of the steps and realized that nothing change. Didn't work for me. Mine is a 2005, not sure if it works for this year.
something he didnt mention is your vehicle HAS TO BE ON A FLAT SURFACE. My driveway is at an angle, and it did not work at all. As soon as I went to a flat surface and did it, it worked
Thanks wow. So I have a "parasitic drain" on my battery. I think it's the TRUNK OPEN light?? GOT misaligned in snow. Brand new AAA battery,,,, tips on how to, reset or turn off trunk open / door open light??
if you're trunk is actually open, it will draw on the battery with that incandescent bulb. You can either for the meantime pull the bulb or replace with an LED for less current draw when the car is parked. I had a similar issue when I first got my car. I no longer experience it, though.
ur a wizard brother! i got the same ls430 same color combo am i stupid to think its the best looking colour combo? classy as fuck! do you know how i can get rid of the tailamp failure warning light ? even if my tailamp is A1 ?
same, all the lights are good in the back from what I can see. Warning only comes on when headlights are turned on. All my light sockets are starting to get brittle and won’t twist and lock into the lamp housing so I’m getting ready to buy the $40 taillight wire harnesses and just replace them.
The electronics are sensitive on the ls. it can detect a bad bulb long before it blows due to resistance i believe..ive had it happen a few times and it drives me nuts having to wait till it blows to get thid warning light off
Same happened to me other day left the gas station and have my vsc off light and check engine and got a code P00442 something like saying small evap leak it’s only code
Video worked great on my 01 Celsior. my vsc light isn’t blinking at me anymore! Although, the triangle is still on. Anyone know what that might be? Is it something unrelated to my vsc?
Hi DasCayman, I have a 2001 LS430 and the VSC light is on after I plugged in a OBD II scanner. Does the car have to park at a level ground before doing your jumper wire method? Thank You.
Took my 01 LS to get the starter replaced and when the car was ready and I picked it up the red triangle with the exclamation point came on as soon as I turned on the car. I'm going to try this but I want to know why this is happening? What's the reason for it coming on? Open to anyone's comments. Thanks
Blake Olson have key in off position, apply your jump wire (paperclip) to the holes explained. Once done that turn the key to the ON position. Do not turn the engine on. Abs light should flash for 5-10 seconds. Turn key too off position, remove jumper cable. Should be fixed
Blake Olson if that does not work, check engine codes via scanner. May tell you you’re (use sensor rate) needs replacing, however this fix should recalibrate that sensor
