8. Disconnect the VSA modulator-control unit 47P connector, the steering angle sensor 5P connector, and yaw rate-lateral acceleration sensor 5P connector.
9. Start the engine.
10. Measure the voltage between VSA modulator-control unit 47P connector terminal No. 35 and body ground.





Is there 0.1 V or more?

YES - Repair short to power in the wire between the VSA modulator-control unit, the yaw rate-lateral acceleration sensor, and the steering angle sensor.

NO - Go to step 11.

11. Check for continuity between VSA modulator-control unit 47P connector terminal No. 35 and body ground.





Is there continuity?

YES - Repair short to body ground in the wire between the VSA modulator-control unit, the yaw rate-lateral acceleration sensor, and the steering angle sensor.

NO - Check for loose terminals in the VSA modulator-control unit 47P connector. If necessary, substitute a known-good VSA modulator-control unit, and retest.
