2005-2019 Toyota Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) Full Reset No Special Tool (Shown On a 2011 Tacoma)

Hope this little video (my 200th video to date) helps you reset the very dangerous VSC issue you may encounter after changing suspension components or going with bigger tires, where your vehicle acts like it wants to throw you off a corner into a ditch. I'm glad I won't be afraid to go around another corner with this issue again!

    Awesome and useful video! My truck was driving me nuts with it wanting to go into the other lane when turning with 35s. I just did the reset so hopefully it will work for me as well haha. Thanks!

    Hey have this same problem with my 2006 Toyota 4 runner. Whenever I take a hard right or left or even on the same turn you took in the mountains it does the same thing where it brakes while I turn. We tried to replace the entire front and back abs wiring system and that didn’t work. Been trying to figure it out. Will try this out to see if it fixes my problem. Any suggestions?

    @chrisavent8012 someone else replied and said this worked for their 4Runner. Even if you asked a dealership to do the VSC reset for you, it would be worth it. Sucks all the suspension work was done. I guess it's all new now but maybe not needed.

    What does recalibrating actually do? Why does it stop the truck from locking up in the future?

    @dizzle215 I mention it in the video, but Toyota programs parameters in the vehicle to check to make sure that the stability of the vehicle is solid, more than likely as in centered based on sensors in the vehicle. I'm not sure if they are like a gyroscope or what, but these relay information to the vehicle that the stability has been compromised and it tries to regain control by stopping the vehicle. For instance if you were off road and these parameters changed suddenly, the vehicle would try to stop so that whatever hazzard you were facing would be minimalized. I'd have to dig deeper to see what the parameters are if anyone knows, but since I had the exact symptoms mentioned in the Tacomaworld writeup and doing the reset fixed my issue, I left well enough alone. Thanks for the reply.

    Thank you so much! I followed the steps in your video and everything matched up perfectly. I had this issue with the steering wheel sort of locking uo going about 60 miles an hour around the corner, so I’m pretty happy to hopefully have addressed it now. Thanks again!

    My 09 has done this a dozen times. First I thought it was because my trailer was a little heavy but then I was noticing it while not towing anything and like under 40 mph on the highway. I think this should be some kind of safety recall because it's extremely dangerous. It puts you into a skid and your going into the other lane. Always on a right curve and Truck is skidding into traffic. I never felt I was driving to fast and when it was doing it without towing and under 40 there is definitely an issue. Hope your fix will take care of it. I just wonder how many are experiencing this in there Tacoma? Btw my tires are stock.

    How should that be a safety recall when YOU are changing the OEM suspension dimensions with larger tires or suspension??? It is clearly stated that a VSC reset should be done with an alignment or any changes to the suspension. You make a change to the suspension that causes the truck to not react the way it's supposed to and you want a safety recall??? LOL
