NOTE: If DTC 76 is accompanied with any of the following DTCs, troubleshoot DTC 76 last.

DTC 25: Yaw Rate Sensor (Hardware)

DTC 26: Lateral Acceleration Sensor (Hardware)

DTC 72: Steering Angle Sensor

DTC 74: Yaw Rate Sensor (Software)

DTC 75: Lateral Acceleration Sensor (Joint Failure)

  1. Clear the DTCs with the HDS (see HOW TO RETRIEVE DTCS  ).
  2. Test-drive the vehicle in a straight line.
  3. Check for DTCs with the HDS (see HOW TO RETRIEVE DTCS  ).

    Does the VSA indicator come on, and is DTC 76 indicated? 

    YES  -Go to step  5.

    NO  -Intermittent failure; the most probable cause is that the vehicle has been driven on an extreme canted road. The system is OK at this time.

  4. Substitute a known-good yaw rate-lateral acceleration sensor (see STEERING ANGLE SENSOR CENTER POINT WRITING  ).
  5. Clear the DTCs with the HDS (see HOW TO RETRIEVE DTCS  ).
  6. Test-drive the vehicle in a straight line.
  7. Check for DTCs with the HDS (see HOW TO RETRIEVE DTCS  ).

    Does the VSA indicator come on, and is DTC 76 indicated? 

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

    NO  -Replace the original yaw rate-lateral acceleration sensor (see STEERING ANGLE SENSOR CENTER POINT WRITING  ).
