DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
VDC Function, TCS Function, Brake Limited Slip Differential (BLSD) Function, Brake Assist Function, Brake Force Distribution Function
VDC warning lamp in combination meter turn ON when a malfunction occurs in system [ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit)]. The control is suspended for VDC function, TCS function, brake limited slip differential (BLSD) function, brake assist function, Brake force distribution function, Rise-up & Build-up function (function of electrically-driven intelligent brake) and Active Trace Control function (function of electrically-driven intelligent brake). The vehicle status becomes the same as models without VDC function, TCS function, brake limited slip differential (BLSD) function, brake assist function, Brake force distribution function, Rise-up & Build-up function (function of electrically-driven intelligent brake) and Active Trace Control function (function of electrically-driven intelligent brake). However, ABS function and EBD function are operated normally.
