  1. VSC Fixed!!! :) :) :) I just followed the procedure on my 2003 RX 300 and it worked perfectly. I used pins 4 and 14 and was careful because the connector is upside down. I was a little nervous about hitting the wrong pin in the haste to follow the procedure so I went the geek route. I took a momentary pushbutton switch and attached it to some wire with the paperclip wires on the end. It worked perfectly the first time and I'm sure I'll be using this again in the future. Thank you everyone for the posts. I wish I had this last year before I spent the $880 at Lexus. I still have the part they took out I'd love to get it tested to see if it's actually broken. I included a diagram of the connector and my button. In order to fix the vacuum hose problem I went to AutoZone and got a longer hose. I can now open the air filter canister without it coming off. It cost me about $3. Thanks again!!! Todd
  2. Somehow I missed your post and just posted a similar message. I can't figure out how to delete it. Anyways, here is what happened to me and my thoughts... I have a 2003 Lexus RX300. We had a problem where the check engine and VSC lights were turning on due to an emissions control problem. After researching it I found the problem to be the vacuum hose had come off of the air filter. I fixed the problem and cleared the code with an Actron CP9125 which worked great. However, after driving the car for a few feet the VSC light came back on. I took it to the dealer and they indicated that I had a malfunctioned Deacceleration sensor, $880 later it was fixed. After a recent oil change the vacuum hose once again came loose and I cleared the code again. Once again the VSC light is now coming on after I drive the car a few feet. Has anyone heard of the Deacceleration Zero Point getting reset after clearing trouble codes? It would seem surprising that this could happen after a very common code reset. I'm a bit troubled because the repair is still under warrantee and I could probably get it fixed. But I'd like to talk to the dealer and figure out if I caused the problem, but I don't want to get stuck paying for the reset. Especially because I'm now thinking that there was never a problem with the original sensor that was replaced and probably only the Zero point calibration was necessary. I found a reset procedure at http://forum.launch-techs.com/post-14796.html but it is a bit complicated and I don't want to end up shorting something out. This refers to service bulletin procedure BR001-04. Thanks
