a. Clearing the DTCs.
1. Connect the han
d-held tester to the DLC3.

2. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
3. Operate the hand-held tester to erase the codes.
HINT:
Refer to the hand-held tester operator's manual for further details.
Check if "VSC" is displayed on the multi-information display.
3.PERFORM ZERO POINT CALIBRATION OF YAW RATE SENSOR AND DECELERATION
SENSOR
a. Check that the steering wheel is in the straight-ahead position and move the shift lever to the P
position.
b. Connect the hand-held tester to the DLC3.
c. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
d. Operate the hand-held tester to test mode.
e. Obtain the zero point of the yaw rate sensor and deceleration sensor:
1. Keep the vehicle in the stationar
y condition on a level surface for 2 seconds or more.

2. Check that the display changes to "VSC Test" on the multi-information display.
HINT:
"VSC" is displayed while obtaining the zero point. "VSC Test" is displayed when it is
completed.
The zero point calibration is performed only once after the system enters the test mode.
Calibration cannot be performed again until the stored data is cleared once.
f. Turn the ignition switch off.
