Vehicle Stability Control System: Calibration
- DESCRIPTION
- After replacing the VSC relevant components or performing "Front wheel alignment adjustment", clear and read the sensor calibration data.
- Follow the chart to perform calibration.
REPLACING PARTS / OPERATION CHARTReplacing Parts / Operation Necessary Operation Skid Control ECU Yaw rate and acceleration sensor zero point calibration. Yaw Rate and Acceleration Sensor - Clearing zero point calibration data.
- Yaw rate and acceleration sensor zero point calibration.
Front Wheel Alignment Adjustment - Clearing zero point calibration data.
- Yaw rate and acceleration sensor zero point calibration.
- CLEAR ZERO POINT CALIBRATION (WHEN USING INTELLIGENT TESTER)
- Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
- Turn the engine switch on (IG).
- Operate the intelligent tester to erase the codes (select "RESET MEMORY").
HINT:
Refer to the intelligent tester operator's manual for further details.
- PERFORM ZERO POINT CALIBRATION OF YAW RATE AND ACCELERATION SENSOR (WHEN USING INTELLIGENT TESTER) NOTE:
- While obtaining the zero point, do not vibrate the vehicle by tilting, moving or shaking it and keep it stationary. (Do not start the engine.)
- Be sure to do this on a level surface (with an inclination of less than 1 degree).
- Procedures for test mode.
- Check that the steering wheel is centered and move the shift lever to the P position.
