Title: BRAKE CONTROL / DYNAMIC CONTROL SYSTEMS: ELECTRONICALLY CONTROLLED BRAKE SYSTEM (for Gasoline Model): VSC OFF Switch Circuit; 2019 - 2021 MY Avalon [04/2018 - 08/2021]

VSC OFF Switch Circuit

DESCRIPTION

The skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) is connected to the combination meter assembly via CAN communication.

Pressing the VSC OFF switch turns off TRAC operation, and pressing and holding this switch turns off TRAC and VSC operation. If TRAC and VSC operations are turned off, "Traction Control Turned Off" will be displayed on the multi-information display and the VSC OFF indicator light will come on.
