Title: BRAKE CONTROL / DYNAMIC CONTROL SYSTEMS: ELECTRONICALLY CONTROLLED BRAKE SYSTEM (w/o Vacuum Brake Booster): VSC OFF Switch Circuit; 2019 - 2021 MY RAV4 RAV4 HV [02/2019 - 12/2021]

VSC OFF Switch Circuit

DESCRIPTION

The skid control ECU assembly is connected to the combination meter assembly via CAN communication.

Pressing the VSC OFF switch turns off TRC (TRAC) operation, and pressing and holding this switch turns off TRC (TRAC) and VSC operation. If TRC (TRAC) and VSC operations are turned off, the TRC (TRAC) OFF message will be displayed on the multi-information display and the VSC OFF indicator light will come on.
