VSC

[Simons]

I have a regular pop up of the VSC.  I know how to reset it either via the OBD and I even have PC software.  But what I cant really find, despite a bit of looking is what is the route cause of it in the first place?   Ideas please.

 

thanks

What is the error code, there are multiple things that can light up the VSC warning?

Its   C1201    My diagnostic can tell me lots of info but I dont know whats reference figures, and whats out of spec.  I do tend to be doing mostly short runs at present if thats releveant?

From what I can see the code is showing low brake fluid level, that's for Toyota anyway.

I think I can rule that one out, all is good on the fluids thanks

Info from LS430 Service Manual for diagnostic code C1201.

Hope this helps.

Thanks the download sheets are clear, that gives me plenty to check out, but not on a cold day like this!
