NOTE: When the vehicle is on a turn-table at the entrance of parking lot or on a moving unit, the VDC OFF indicator lamp turns ON, and the self-diagnosis with CONSULT-II may indicate that the yaw rate sensor system is malfunctioning. In this case, the yaw rate sensor is not malfunctioning. Remove the vehicle from the turn-table or other moving unit, and restart the engine. This will return the status to normal.

Are YAW RATE SENSOR SYSTEM and TRANSVERSE ACCELERATION SENSOR indicated on self-diagnosis display.
1. : GO TO 2 .
Self-Diagnosis Result Check 2
1. Disconnect connectors of yaw rate sensor, transverse acceleration sensor and VDC/TCS/ABS control unit.
2. Check for continuity between the VDC/TCS/ABS control unit (vehicle-side connector) and the yaw rate/side G-sensor (vehicle-side connector).
Is inspection result OK?
1. OK: GO TO 3 .
2. NG: Repair or replace the disconnected harness.
Yaw Rate Sensor/Side G-Sensor Circuit Check
Check that the yaw rate sensor and side G-sensor is in normal operation in DATA MONITOR.

Is inspection result OK?
1. OK: Perform the VDC/TCS/ABS control unit self-diagnosis again.
2. NG: Yaw rate sensor/side G-sensor malfunction. After replacing the sensor, perform the self-diagnosis of VDC/TCS/ABS control unit again.
