Re-calibrate reset the VSC TRAC on Lexus SC430 

Cheers for the amazing information on recalibrating VSC TRAC light. I made a change using ODB scanner and the end result generated VSC TRAC OFF light. Thank You Very Very much!

Your OBD-2 pin jumper solution to re-calibrate (fix) the VSC TRAC light always on problem worked perfectly on my 2002 SC430. Thank you sharing.

Could not figure this out for a year. Your advice did the trick on my 2003 SC430. You sir are my hero.

worked on my 2005 SC430. Same deal that toyota dealership did not recalibrate and returned it to me with these lights on. thank you so much!!!!!

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! This absolutely worked for my car! Light has been on for months! Notice where the top of the plug is and place as on video and do as instructed! GOD BLESS YOU SIR! Glory to God!

Oh my gosh!! You’re like a car Dad, thank you for sharing this vid. I have had my car tested in machines at 2 shops.. and this did it, on my own!! Thanks

You're a legend man, worked on my 02 LS430 like a charm. Saved me a bunch of calls back and forth with a dealer and body shop that it came from. Took like a minute not including the test drive.

Wow, how ironic??? We have the same car, the same color, the same mileage and the same year. Thank you Sir for your hard work. I changed the air filter and VSC/Check engine light went on. Now, I know how to reset/recalibrate the light thank to you. God Blessed!!!

VSC light and VSC Off light came on after a locksmith attached a scan tool to the OBD II port to program the chip in a replacement key for my SC430. This video saved me $ and hassle and took literally 60 seconds. Thanks!

The gift that keeps on giving! Thank you Stephen. I put my car in for a fault with the roof mechanism and got it back with a fixed roof and a VSC light that wouldn't go off. The auto electrician said his Techstream didn't reach back to my 2003 model so he couldn't recalibrate the car. Take it to "Lexus", he said !!! Well, I got onto Google and laid my heart bare asking how to fix a VSC light on and you, electronically, galloped to the rescue. I had to destroy a perfectly good paper clip but the end justified the means............ Thank you, thank you, thank you, all the way from Sydney, Australia

Thank you so much, Stephen, for sharing this pain saving tip! Yours is the simplest, but best! It worked out on my sc430 like a chime! It troubled me for a year. Thank you again!!!

Great job Stephen. Viewing your video saved me from taking my car into the Lexus dealership where they most likely would have charged me for an hour's labor or to replace the VSC switch. Thank you!

The procedure worked perfectly on my 2002 SC430. Thanks so much for posting this video and sharing the information. Great view of the jumper placement too.

Dude, you are the best! My mom said her cars vsc light has been on for months, and she wasn't able to take it to the shop. Of course I had to check for another option and your page did the trick. Thanks and keep up the good work!

Thank you, Thank you - I had a sensor Bank 1 sensor 1 replaced (2002 SC430) and this VSC light would not go off. Watched your video and performed jump just as you said. Wow! Done and done! So easy.

You nailed it perfectly. I used the "5" left side and the "3" right side for the jumpers or "53"

Thank you for taking your time and sharing this to all of us. God Bless You!

This can happen when someone connects a non " Techstream" (Toyotas factory scan tool) to your obd2 port. The lexus service manual has you jump the pins you indicate but says to do it in a fairly lengthy 15 step process. I believe they do this in order to reset all the sensors the system looks at... the SAS (steering angle sensor) Yaw sensors and the deceleration sensors and Im not sure your quickie method does all that but it does work to get the light off and the VSC to work again (as long as there isnt an actual real problem in one of the sensors or in the module itself). The potential Problem with this method is if the values of all those sensors have not been reset correctly, it may possibly cause your stability control to be unable to predict the actual forces on your vehicle in a skid and therefor apply corrections that may be based on erroneous values. So not necessarily a good thing. Not really sure but that's my take away. The Toyota recommended procedure should be able to be found online by searching ( lexus C1336). And honestly its not all that much harder to do than this.

Perfect, thanks you. Just fixed my Lexus ES300 VSC light using your tips.

Man, I been driving around for 2 yrs with those lights on. I did exactly what you said and it worked!!!! Thank you dude!

Thank you very much for your help. It worked great, save me a 3 Hour Dr. going to the Lexus dealer.

This worked for a 2002 SC 430 as well. Great video! thanks .

Worked Perfect on my 2003 ES300. Issue gone. Thanks, dude! 👌

Ps- mine had set off a constant alarm. Now I’m good. Again, thank you for sharing this info!

15k snap on machine couldn’t do it but a split 😂. Thank you. I had abs fault which I fixed and couldn’t clear the vsc light thank you

Thanks a lot from France. Easy manipulation and some euros saved 👍

Thank you Stephen.. did work for my car bless you brother..

Greta video!! Got my customer on the road in less than 5 minutes! Our DTCs Scanner could not resolve issue

Worked on my 02 with 123k. Thank you! Seems like these type of tricks never work, what a surprise lol

This worked great on my 2002 SC430

It worked great the first time. Some little hose near the oil dipstick keeps disconnecting. It triggers the light every couple of months. I recently bought a code reader to reset the check engine light and it erased all codes, including the VSC trac. Though your method worked for me the first time it happened. Thanks!

Worked on my 2005 Pebble Beach Edition like a charm! Thank you very much!

Out of all the. Videos this one helped thanks

Awesome, I just did it. Thank you so much. You are awesome

You are definitely THE MAN! This actually worked after I tried all kinds of suggested fixes, pulled fuses, disconnected the neg. battery terminal, Had no DTC CAN codes just these damn lights following a engine light on issue due to bad gas cap. BTW, I have the EXACT same car as you. Same year (I can tell from wheel disk covers) same color, same interior. Only thing I don't have is that wood insert in your steering wheel. Was that an option? Thank you.

Thanks for the video it really helped a lot

This was spot on. Thank you.

Work just like you said. Thank you so much. Great instructions!

Thank you so much It worked perfectly just as you showed it

thank you so much for the sharing, little trick fast and easy, work great.

Works for me too. Thanks so much. The mechanic wants to charge 200 for a 30sec fix.

Awesome! thank you for the vid..just did it ..Worked perfectly!

Worked like a charm! 👍 Thank you!

That did the trick for me. Thanks for the great easy video.

Thank you for doing this

it worked great. thank you

Wow! That was toooo easy. Thank you soo much. Question? The lighter came on because I swapped the pen radio for a new double din. The tpws light is on, how can I get that ti go? It was not on before and the tires are correctly inflated.

Thanks for the video very helpful could better if you mention the PIN number for each line

That worked! Clear instructions, thank you!

Thank you for your video! I was thinking wtf to do.

THANKS , I HAVE PUT NEW AFTERMARKET ALLOY WHEELS AND NOW TR.CONTROL AND VSC LIGHT NOT COMING OFF

Bro you are the man!

Success. Many thanks

Would this issue also cause a failure with the convertible top?!?!?

So whats the metal piece that you're using as a jumper...? What are you sticking in those holes?

Mine just came on, I tried this nothing is happening. The lights are not blinking when I attach the clip to the ports! Any idea? Thx

Great video i have same car I will try it today

Wish I’d seen this before having the whole clock spring mechanism replaced 😂

Worked perfectly thank you

2002 sc430, didn't work. I must have additional issues going on with the car than just a simple reset. Thanks tho.

Thank you for your video.

Work perfect thanks.

Are the two pins numbered?

Where did you get the steering wheel emblem? Love it. Thanks

Nice video. The TPMS light on my 2004 SC430 is constantly on even with normal tire pressure--I assuming one or more of the sensors are bad. Is there a way to re-set the TPMS light to make it go off without unplugging the wire underneath the shift cover as some people have suggested? thanks

Done!

Muchas gracias!!!

Thank you!

I don't understand what a "jumper" is ... guess I'm a novice. Can you explain?

How do you find which is the “CG” and “TS” in a nissan 350z 2003? Plz help

I watched the video and I tried something old fashion, I simply disconnected the battery for about 5 minutes. Reconnected the battery and haven’t seen that light again. It’s been months btw.

My concern here is,the paper clip used to connect the “2”pins together,applied to my 02 RX300,also ? Because mine, has only the VSC and ABS light...thanks

stupid question but where do youget the jump pins?

thanks!

Works thank you

This did not work for a 2007 SC430.

I have the same issue... is this always a solution, or could there be something else causing the lights to come on the dashboard. My A/C does not work, my convertible top button does work, and certain buttons on the panel such as the VSC don’t work. No beeping noises... nothing. Would using this method to restart, help any of my other issues? I heard that when the drop top button does not work, it will usually make a beeping noise or turn red... but mine does nothing at all, same as my A/C button. Any ideas?

Hey, when I turn the battery on with the pins down there . It doesn't flash consistently and nothing happens, CAN YOU HELP ME PLEASEEEE

Got the lights to blink but my lights are still on lol

АГОНЬ! метод работает)))

Ok

Worked like a charm. Thank you so much.
