What does Toyota's Check VSC mean?
1 Answers
Toyota's Check VSC indicates a malfunction in the electronic vehicle stability control system that requires inspection. Here are the relevant details: 1. Definition of VSC: Vehicle Stability Control (VSC), with the full English name Vehicle-Stability-Control, is an active safety system developed by Toyota Motor Corporation. Similar systems include BMW's DSC Dynamic Stability Control and Volkswagen's ESP Electronic Stability Program. 2. Function of VSC: The VSC system prevents oversteer or understeer during cornering, enabling the vehicle to quickly correct its trajectory back to the intended path. 3. VSC operation: While driving, the VSC system continuously monitors the driver's steering input, vehicle speed, throttle position, braking force, as well as body tilt and roll rate through various sensors. This allows the system to detect discrepancies between safe vehicle operation and the driver's intentions. It then adjusts engine speed and distributes braking force to individual wheels to correct oversteer or understeer situations.
