Toyota Tacoma (2015-2018) Service Manual: VSC Buzzer Circuit
DESCRIPTION
The skid control ECU (master cylinder solenoid) is connected to the combination meter via CAN communication.
The combination meter has a built-in VSC warning buzzer:
- Sounds intermittently to inform the driver if the temperature of hydraulic brake booster has increased excessively due to continuous operation of TRAC, A-TRAC and AUTO LSD.
- Sounds intermittently to inform the driver that the VSC is operating.
- Sounds continuously to alert the driver that the hydraulic pressure of accumulator in the hydraulic brake booster has decreased.
