Is there about 2.5 V?
YES-Go to step 22.
NO-Repair open in the wire between the VSA control unit and the yaw rate sensor.
22. Substitute a known-good yaw rate sensor.
23. Do the neutral position memorization. Programming and Relearning
24. Test-drive the vehicle around a number of right and left hand corners.
Is DTC 25 indicated ?
YES-Check for loose VSA control unit connectors. If necessary, replace the VSA control unit.
NO-Check for loose yaw rate sensor connectors. If necessary, replace the yaw rate sensor.
