1

CHECK INSTALLATION OF YAW RATE AND 
LATERAL G SENSOR.
Check installation of yaw rate and lateral G 
sensor.
Is the yaw rate and lateral G sensor fixed 
securely?

Fixed securely.

Go to step 2.

Install yaw rate 
and lateral G sen-
sor securely.

2

CHECK OUTPUT OF LATERAL G SENSOR 
USING SELECT MONITOR.
1) Stop the vehicle on a flat road.
2) Select “Current data display & Save” on the 

select monitor.

3) Read yaw rate and lateral G sensor output 

on the select monitor display.
Is the measured value within the specified 
range?

2.3 — 2.7 V

Go to step 3.

Replace yaw rate 
and lateral G sen-
sor.  <Ref. to VDC-
22, Yaw Rate and 
Lateral G Sensor.>

3

CHECK POOR CONTACT IN CONNECTORS.
Turn ignition switch to OFF.
Is there poor contact in connector between 
VDCCM and yaw rate and lateral G sensor?

There is poor contact.

Repair connector.

Go to step 4.

4

CHECK VDCCM.
1) Connect all connectors.
2) Erase the memory.
3) Perform inspection mode.
4) Read out the diagnostic trouble code.

Is the same diagnostic trouble code as in 
the current diagnosis still being output?

Same DTC indicated.

Replace VDCCM.  
<Ref. to VDC-8, 
VDC Control Mod-
ule (VDCCM).>

Go to step 5.

5

CHECK ANY OTHER DIAGNOSTIC TROU-
BLE CODES APPEARANCE.
Are other diagnostic trouble codes being out-
put?

Other DTC indicated.

Proceed with the 
diagnosis corre-
sponding to the 
diagnostic trouble 
code.

A temporary poor 
contact.

1

CHECK OUTPUT OF YAW RATE AND LAT-
ERAL G SENSOR USING SELECT MONI-
TOR.
1) Stop the vehicle on a flat road.
2) Select “Current data display & Save” on the 

select monitor.

3) Read yaw rate and lateral G sensor output 

on the select monitor display.
Is the measured value within the specified 
range?

2.3 — 2.7 V

Go to step 2.

Go to step 5.

2

CHECK POOR CONTACT IN CONNECTORS.
Turn ignition switch to OFF.
Is there poor contact in connector between 
VDCCM and yaw rate and lateral G sensor?

There is poor contact.

Repair connector.

Go to step 3.

3

CHECK VDCCM.
1) Connect all connectors.
2) Erase the memory.
3) Perform inspection mode.
4) Read out the diagnostic trouble code.

Is the same diagnostic trouble code as in
