Safety Warning
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.
Vehicle Stability Control System: Calibration
- DESCRIPTION
After replacing the relevant VSC components, clear the sensor calibration data and perform calibration.
REPLACEMENT/ADJUSTMENT PART AND NECESSARY OPERATION CHARTReplacement/Adjustment Part Necessary Operation Master cylinder solenoid (Skid control ECU) Yaw rate and G sensor zero point calibration Yaw rate and G sensor - Clearing zero point calibration data
- Yaw rate and G sensor zero point calibration
Vehicle height adjustment - Clearing zero point calibration data
- Yaw rate and G sensor zero point calibration
- Steering angle sensor initialization
- CLEAR ZERO POINT CALIBRATION (SST CHECK WIRE)
After replacing the yaw rate and G sensor or performing a vehicle height adjustment, make sure to clear the zero point calibration data in the skid control ECU and perform zero point calibration.
- Turn the engine switch on (IG).
- Using SST, connect and disconnect terminals 12 (TS) and 4 (CG) of the DLC3 4 times or more within 8 seconds.
SST 09843-18040
- Check that "DIAG VSC OK" is displayed on the multi-information display and check that the ABS warning light outputs the normal system code.
- Using a check wire, perform zero point calibration of the yaw rate and G sensor.
- PERFORM ZERO POINT CALIBRATION OF YAW RATE AND G SENSOR (SST CHECK WIRE)
After replacing the master cylinder solenoid and/or yaw rate and G sensor or performing a vehicle height adjustment, make sure to perform yaw rate and G sensor zero point calibration.

When to See a Mechanic
Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:
- • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
- • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
- • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
- • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
- • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
