    All,

    Having some TC / VHC gremlins. I have a 15 DCSB, 2.5 lift, bumpers fr/re, topper, drawer system and is on 33 pizza cutters. I have reset the VSC via the Youtube videos. I did it at a gas station and at a friends garage.
    My taco seems to engage the TC / VHC almost exclusively on right turns, rare occasions on left turns. I take the same road which I did my testing on. Same 4 corners it kicks on after both resets. Wonder if that is just the corners it picked to engage on and is doing its job. They are decreasing radius and off camber.
    Just want to make sure seems normal, just hate for it to kit on, when traffic oncoming. IMHO it should not kit on, as these corners are not that bad to me.
    thanks!

    The 2nd gen VSC system tends to not work well with some lift/tire combos but there's a few things to check/verify, is your steering wheel straight when driving?

    When doing the reset the truck must be on level ground with the steering wheel centered.

    Past the above I wonder if you have a flaky ABS sensor or some electrical issue.

    Have you pulled codes to see if there’s anything there?

    I have a ~2.5” lift up front with a 5+ in the rear when unloaded (300lb wedge camper, fridge, chains). When I’m fully loaded for a week I’m almost level. Never had any issues, I’ve never reset the VSC after the suspension changes.

    I tried both on level ground as mentioned, once friends garage wheel as centered as it looks visually. I did just have an alignment done last week. Maybe I should give it another reset.
    No codes other than radio ones I think linked to an after market radio.
    I was leaning towards just replacing the sensors if they are easy to get to, one at a time, and see if that changes anything.
