Fig. 42: Checking For Continuity Between The VSA Control Unit 47P Connector & Yaw Rate-
Lateral Acceleration Sensor 5P Connector

14. Check for continuity between the VSA control unit 47P connector terminal No. 34 and yaw rate-lateral

acceleration sensor 5P connector terminal No. 3.

Is there continuity?

YES: Go to step 15.

NO: Repair open in the wire between the VSA control unit and the yaw rate-lateral
acceleration sensor.

15. Substitute a known-good yaw rate-lateral acceleration sensor.

16. Reconnect all of the disconnected connectors.

17. Clear the DTC using the HDS (see HOW TO CLEAR DTCS ).

18. Disconnect the HDS from the 16P DLC.

19. Turn the ignition switch OFF, then turn it ON (II) again.

20. Test-drive the vehicle around a number of corners.

21. Verify the DTC.

Is DTC 25 indicated?

YES: Replace the VSA modulator-control unit (see VSA MODULATOR-CONTROL
UNIT REMOVAL & INSTALLATION ).

NO: Replace the original yaw rate-lateral acceleration sensor (see YAW RATE-LATERAL
ACCELERATION SENSOR REPLACEMENT ).
