Lift with VSC answer.....

Are you lifted ?

 

Yea 3 in rough country lift.

 

Did your vsc issues start right after the lift and / or new tires or wheels ?

Did you get an alignment and then do the vsc recalibration ?

 

I rode it for a year with the lift on and no issues. About 3 months ago I put new m/t tires on and rode them a little too long because they cuped. I then rotated the tires and holy it's bad now. Down right scary.

 

Have you tried a recalibration after rotating the tires ?

 

Are you talking about the vsc calibration?

 

And I just had an alignment done about a month ago.

 

Yes

 

No but I was thinking about d
trying that paperclip thing in the #4 & #8 obd2 port

 

Well , you should definitely try the VSC recalibration outlined in the pdf file in the opening post of this thread

Unfortunately it doesn't always work though

I now turn off my VSC system during start up everytime

 

Well looks like I no longer need to worry about this because my tacoma got totaled today around 2:00 pm. I was in stopped traffic in a 8 lane interstate 70mph speed limit and a woman in a 2013 dodge dart hit me at 75-80mph never even hit the break. So I've been in the hospital from 2:30 - 10:00 pm. I'll try to find a few pics.

 

Sorry to hear that and hope you are okay. When I read that the truck was totalled I thought it was going to be related to this VSC issue.

 

Well I just want to let yall know there tanks. Of I would've been in something else it probably would've killed me.

 

does anyone know if only the dealer can recailbrate the VSC, or any lift shop can as well?

 

read the pdf file in the first post of the thread

 

I plan on installing a lift in spring and I'm hoping to not have some of the issues you guys are reporting. I guess other than the VSC recalibration there is no other corrective measure in place yet?

Also not that it is really a solution, but I don't think it would be very hard to wire in a timed relay so that the VSC system is shut down every time your truck is turned on. Basically just imitating you holding in the button for however many seconds it takes.

 

You can do the ABS bypass switch which will kill the VSC / ABS

 

Ah perfect thanks. Something I'll read up on a bit before putting in a lift

 

I think Landphil's method is the cleanest

Despite what he posted initially , it has been proven to work on VSC equipped trucks
