Description of the problem | Problems encountered with vsc. 1. Vsc warning light activated when vehicle is at a complete stop, driver seatbelt is fastened and driver reaches to backseat. This can be consistently reproduced. Vehicle taken to thompson toyota dealership service on 3/19/10 and explanation received was this is a "designed feature" and is a result of pressing the brake petal "too hard" causing vsc to engage. 2. Vsc warning light is activated when vehicle is started and driver moves shifter from park to reverse. Even though shifter is in reverse, reverse gear will not engage and when accelerator is depressed, engine revs as though the shifter is still in park. To correct, driver must place shifter back in park, temporarily remove foot from brake and then reapply brake and shift back to reverse. Vehicle taken to thompson toyota dealership service on 3/19/10 and could not be reproduced. Explanation received that this too was a "designed feature" and is a result of pressing the brake petal "too hard" causing vsc to engage and preventing transmission to shift in reverse. |
