Toyota Yaw Rate Acceleration Sensor and VSC Light Reset by Launch X431

 

ECB (Electronic Control Brake System), according to the driving status of vehicle and using the oil pressure brake system, controls S-VSC (Steering-assisted Vehicle Stability Control System), braking assist system and ABS equipped with EBD. ECB controls oil pressure brake system and the brake power produced by regenerative braking system according to actual operation status, to put regenerative braking power into fullplay and to enhance fuel efficiency.

Yaw rate sensor(also called angle speed sensor), inspect the deviation of vehicle along the vertical axis. The deviation represents the stability degree of vehicle. If the deviation angle is up to certain threshold value, it indicates that side slide occur or the vehicle has danger of excursion, so at this time VSC controlling will be triggered. When the vehicle deviates from the vertical axis, the vibration plane of micro turning fork in sensor will be changed. Acceleration sensor has two types; vertical acceleration sensor along vehicle advance direction and transverse acceleration sensor vertical to the direction of advance.

The two sensors provide parameters of vehicle status for VSC.When these sensors has malfunction or after these sensors are replaced, it needs to reset.And at same time, VSC light is lit, which has to be extinguished with diagnostic device.Here we discuss how to reset and put out the fault light with X431.The function is available in the working supporting menu of ABS of X431 TOYOTA program. The non-CANBUS systems must be used TOYOTA-16 connector or CAN BUS II connector.

The main procedures are introduced as below:

After entering ABS menu, select “clearing yaw ratio/acceleration sensor zero point (to ECB), and then the screen will prompt a dialog box.
