What does it mean when the VSC light comes on in a Reiz?
2 Answers
VSC light illumination indicates a malfunction in the vehicle stability control system. Here are the relevant details: 1. If the VSC light is orange with an "OFF" indicator below it, it means the vehicle stability control system was accidentally turned off. When both the VSC light and the check VSC warning light with an exclamation mark illuminate simultaneously, it may indicate a fault in the vehicle stability control system. The engine light may come on due to poor fuel quality or carbon buildup in the cylinders. 2. VSC (Vehicle Stability Control) is a system that automatically integrates control of TRC (Traction Control System), yaw rate sensor, skid sensor, wheel speed sensor, and G-sensor during aggressive maneuvers such as oversteering, understeering, or obstacle avoidance.
The VSC light came on in my Toyota Mark X, and I have to say something about this because I've encountered similar issues while driving myself. Generally, it indicates a malfunction in the Vehicle Stability Control system, possibly due to dirty or damaged wheel speed sensors. These sensors are located near the wheels and are prone to getting contaminated by mud and water. Alternatively, uneven tire pressure can cause the system to misjudge, and a faulty ABS module is also a common cause. I recommend first pulling over to check the tire pressure, ensuring it's within the standard range. If that's not the issue, try cleaning the area around the sensors. If the light remains on, you should visit a repair shop to diagnose the trouble codes with a scanner. Never force the car to keep driving, especially on slippery roads—VSC failure could lead to skidding and loss of control. Preventive measures include washing the car more often and regularly inspecting the sensors and tires. Safety first, after all.
