What is the reason for the three yellow VSC lights on the Reiz?
2 Answers
Three yellow VSC lights on the Reiz indicate a malfunction in the vehicle's anti-skid and traction control systems. Below are specific details about the Toyota Reiz: 1. Powertrain: Equipped with two V6 naturally aspirated engines, namely the 2.5L V6 and 3.5L V6. The entry-level 2.5L V6 engine delivers a maximum power of 149 kW, while the 3.5L V6 engine produces a maximum power of 234 kW. The transmission system is paired with an 8AT gearbox. 2. Drivetrain: Features a front-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout and is also equipped with four-wheel independent suspension.
A few days ago, while driving my Reiz, I encountered a situation where all three VSC warning lights lit up, which really startled me. These yellow lights indicate an issue with the vehicle's stability control system, often caused by dirt or snow accumulation on the wheel speed sensors. When the sensors get dirty, the car mistakenly thinks the tires are slipping. Another possible cause is unstable battery voltage—low voltage can trigger these warning lights. My advice is to first park the car safely, check if there's mud blocking the sensors near the wheels, clean them, and then restart the engine. If the lights remain on, you should head to a repair shop immediately, as this system involves the brakes, and failure during sharp turns could be dangerous. Regularly cleaning the wheel wells during car washes can help prevent such issues. Drive cautiously on the road and maintain a safe distance.
