VSA System Symptom Troubleshooting Index (VSA System Components)

When the vehicle has one of these symptoms, check for VSA diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) with the HDS. If there are no DTCs, do the diagnostic procedure for the symptom, in the sequence listed, until you find the cause.

Symptom	Diagnostic procedure	Also check for
HDS does not communicate with the VSA modulator-control unit or the vehicle	Troubleshoot the DLC circuit Refer to: DLC Circuit Troubleshooting (2019 2020 2021) or DLC Circuit Troubleshooting (2022 2023) .
ABS indicator, brake system indicator (red), VSA indicator, brake system indicator (amber), or VSA OFF indicator does not come on at start-up (bulb check)	Do the gauge control module self-diagnostic function . Replace the VSA modulator-control unit .
VSA cannot be turned OFF	Symptom troubleshooting . Replace the VSA modulator-control unit .
VSA OFF indicator does not go off	Do the VSA sensor neutral position memorization - Refer to: VSA Sensor Neutral Position Memorization . Do the gauge control module self-diagnostic function .
ABS indicator, brake system indicator (red), VSA indicator, and brake system indicator (amber) do not go off	NOTE: If any of the CAN communication failure DTC is indicated in other system, troubleshooting the DTC first. Check for open wire or shorted wire in the F-CAN circuit; Between the gauge control module and the CAN gateway (F-CAN D_H, F-CAN D_L) Between the VSA modulator-control unit and the CAN gateway (F-CAN B_H, F-CAN B_L, F-CAN C_H, F-CAN C_L) Check the VSA modulator-control unit power circuit (+B_ABS/VSA_FRS, IG1_VSA/ABS) Check the VSA modulator-control unit ground circuit (GND) Do the gauge control module self-diagnostic function .
