| Description of the problem | Has anyone ever considered the toyota vehicle speed control, vsc, system as a source of sudden acceleration? A code p1578 means brake system malfunction relating to the cruise control brake switch. If the brake switch develops an intermittent, stepping on the brake pedal will not cause the cruise to disengage. The driver will fight the cruise control with the brakes and think its a sudden acceleration. The toyota vsc system needs to be included in the protocol for their vehicle exams as well as independent forensic examiners. |
