I can't believe after almost 2 years, NONE of the mechanics even considered doing this. I've had a non-functional rear driver side brake this entire time, along with no traction control/vsc and the car would keep pushing when I came to a stop. I had to put the car in N at stoplights so it wouldn't keep pushing. Not only that, I wasn't getting any regenerating so the best my mileage would be is 20-23mpg over 100 miles or so. Now, I'm getting mid 20's - low 30's for mpg on average, I have traction control again, it even just rides smoother, more even. The local Toyota dealership told me that I would have to pay about $350 just to put it up on the lift and read the engine codes. You just saved me hundreds, potentially thousands. I know this video is 6 years old but thank you thank you, thank you so much!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! The dealership in Grand Blanc Michigan wanted to charge several hundred dollars to replace parts that were already replaced before they would reset the lights. your method worked great and they have not come on again. Thank you so much.
Hey Paul thanks man..a few hours ago after a mechanic replaced my gas tank in a lexus lx470, the VSC came on and would not go way ,he did not know to fix it ..thanks to you and some other youtubers i was able to follow this and it worked for me after a few try...huge thanks
Most of this video was above my level of expertise, but the last bit at the end about the auto window switch fixed an issue I've had since the dealer replaced my clock spring. The airbag light was flashing and the window was effed up. Thanks for being thorough in this, to cover ALL potential issues.
dahanks1 👍😊
Paul your advice in this video was spot on!!! Thanks so much you saved me hundreds of dollars I’m sure. Scenario: 07 tundra lifted with big mud tires. Tires were rotated at dealership and caused vsc, brake, and slippery surface light to come on. They should have recalibrated my sensors but didn’t. Took it back to have them check if it was anything they did or didn’t do and they want to charge another $103 just to look under the truck (Classic Toyota North Wilkesboro, NC). I tried your advice and fixed the problem instantly!!!! Thanks a million!!!!!
Lifted my truck and added 35s same scenerio with all the lights flashing. Really hope this works!!! Dealership wants $750 to clear it.
Thank you!!!! We are travelling, and are 3000 miles from home, and You just fixed our FJ!!! We were almost paniced but took it to God, and then youtube,lol...and as soon as I saw the cross on your page I clicked on it!!!!! 🙋♀️🇨🇦🚙❤👍🏼‼️
Thanks for your informative videos Paul. I watched all 4 parts of your videos and was able to clear them after removing the battery cables for at least 5 minutes, reconnecting them and restarting the engine and it worked without doing the other steps. I have 2009 Toyota Sienna. God bless you for taking your time to provide clear instructions video to help out so many people like me.
How do I find the first parts of this video?
4 years later and this is still helping people like me out🤘🏻 thanks a bunch. You got a new follower
👍😊
I went through these videos after the local shop handed us an estimate of $1412.59 to solve our indicator light issue. They hooked up their OBD and interpreted the results to mean that the catalytic converter was probably disintegrating, causing a temperature differential that was triggering the system warning lights. They wanted to replace the two sensors (oxygen and temp) and to replace the exhaust manifold as well (which integrates the cat. converter). I had my doubts, however, as the car had full power and normal engine temperature. I went through Paul's videos in order and solved the problem in about an hour. Thanks, Paul! You gotta love the age of information!
After the reset, the car idle was rough for the first 25 miles as the computer idle compensation had to recalibrate. Now everything is perfect.
That is fantastic! I'm so happy for you. You went the extra mile and it paid off BIG TIME! Thanks for letting me know. I really like to try and help people. Now you can go buy somemore Christmas presents. LOL! I can't even begin to imagine the amount of money that people pay out unnecessarily on auto repairs.
Thank you！ It's very helpful. I live in Chicago and find my Trac off on a snowy day. With your video I've fixed my problem within 15 minutes!
lee mavis 👍
Paul, I greatly appreciate your videos. I've downloaded all four of the VSC trac off pieces you made. Wife's 2005 4R had lights come on yesterday. Looking forward to getting out there and trying the tips. Have a great day, and God Bless you too.
Hopefully you'll get the problem fixed. There's nothing like being able to fix something yourself and being able to save your hard earned money. Let me know how it goes.
I took out the lights with a paper clip but I want to ask if it will come back car Ls 460 2007
Where are the other 3 videos? I cannot find them.
I have 2010 Corolla with the VSC and slip control lights on, no check engine or ABS lights. A scan from Auto Zone noted a zero point code. This process worked for me. I'll still have to get an alignment as my front tires have uneven wear but it sure helps a ton I don't have to pay for a computer diagnostic. Thank you, sir.
An airbag recall/replacement triggered my check engine, VSC, Trac Off issue and this procedure resolved it. And, the most important part was that, I didn't have to go back to the Toyota dealer! Thank you.
Thanks Paul. It took me to video 4 before the lights cleared. It happened exactly as your video showed. I have a chitons repair manual for my 2006 highlander and no references to the wires in the diagnostic port. I decided to just do what you did since I think your vehicle is the same as mine. Lucky me it worked. Thanks again.
I was skeptical but this worked EXACTLY as Paul instructed and fixed the problem. Thank you Paul for your easy to follow video.

It's so good to see someone dedicated to the most reliable car in the world. Still sometimes you need to fix things. Sydney, Australia.
Best mechanic in UA-cam. No better way of explaining it. Thank you so much.
👍😊
Thank you so much. I held down the trac button while starting the vehicle, and like magic it went out. You are so awesome😊😊
Hi Paul - thank you for the post on fixing the check engine light. I did this and it worked. I was in panic mode every time I drove my car as I had it checked and there were no problems. But as the light stayed on I thought a catastrophe was about to happen. No stress now thanks to you. Michele
Its Snoopy 👍😊 The only time you really need to worry about a check engine light is when it starts flashing. Driving with a flashing check engine light is when you can really do some damage to the engine.
@@proclaimliberty2000 Thank you for your reply. Yeah the light was flashing and I took it to a mechanic who replaced an oxygen sensor but the light stayed on. He said not to worry about it. After I did your trick it's off so thank you for that. I'm a female and mechanics always either rip me off or talk like I'm an idiot. Thank you again. I'm flowing a lot of your posts. Michele.
Its Snoopy 👍😊
About time a YT Video where someone knows how to speak, & actually wants to help! Thanx Man, most ppl seem to just add BS! U Hava great 2021 Sir!!!
Finally Someone who put a video out that was straight forward, and useful! Thank you so much..
Super !!! A+!!! HAD VSC AND TCS light on a 2003 TOYOTA CAMRY XLE V6, MADE SURE I CONNECTED THRU PIN 4 & 14, DID THE SAME PROCEDURE AND WORKED PERFECT!
Did they ever come back after performing this ?
Drove 350 miles to rescue my stranded wife with this! I hope God blesses you! In the mean time, can I send money somewhere? Saved our butts!
Worked like a champ. VSC light came on when I did the brakes. This was the fix as I knew nothing was wrong with the system or vechicle.
This video clip really Blesses me personally and i hope to Bless everyone..Continue with this Good effort,many Blessings!
Tqvm!God Bless You Sir!
Grandson and I just performed this tip. On 2013 taco, Awesome to the point instructions.!!!Thank you so much..:)
Oh my God...your video was a life saver. I only had to use your instructions from the first video and tighten the cap, indeed it was not all way tight before which explained the problem. Thanks so much for sharing this information. It saved me a bunch of money which Lexus would have happily ripped off to fix my IS250. Keep up the good work mate. Cheers. Sam
Tighten what cap??
The gas cap. If it's not tight your engine light may come on
Thanks a lot. It worked and I´ve repaired my Electronic Power Steering with your help, my RAV4 2006 had the problem that the EPS was working not correctly, very hard and the car was very difficult keep straight on the highways. The Toyota Dealer asked me to change all system, costing arround 2000€, imagine... thank you Paul
Gerardo Moreno Chinchilla You’re welcome.
Thanks so much for this! I didn't use two paper clips but one small metal wire and made a U shape out of it. Love your content...much peace, love and God bless bro!
jayjay D 👍😊
It worked! Thanks Paul!
2011 Toyota Sienna SE 3.5L
Only difference was that my OBD connection port was upside down from the one shown in the video. But it was shaped the same so the orientation was easy to discern.
Ben Builder i
Yes!!!! It worked😁😁, make sure you follow the directions carefully as this procedure took me a couple times to get right. I came back to this procedure after i tried all 6 of the procedures
الله يجزاك خير يا عبد الحق...على نصحك وتعليمك وفوائدك....
اللهم صل وسلم وبارك على نبينا محمد وآله وصحبه اجمعين
Worked great for me. On my 2010 Corolla the cg & ts were the fourth terminals counting from the RIGHT. Fourth from the top and the bottom terminals. Thanks a lot!
thanks you safe me time looking at diagram. mine is 2010 corolla too
Thank you very very much for posting this video had the lights on for days went to my mechanic and was told it would take hours for him to diagnose the problem and it would be over $200 I choose not to do it came home and went online and there was your video even though I wasn't sure if I was doing it right it freaking worked like a charm not sure if it will come back but I'm very thankful to you
You are such a blessing to heaps of people.
Work like a charm. My 05 Toyota Highlander had the vsc and trac off light on after my battery died . This trick work perfect for me. Thanks.
THANK YOU! Disconnecting the battery was the key step! No other videos mentioned that...and the lights kept coming back on! THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!
Ryan Smith 👍😊
Worked on my ‘05 Highlander this morning. Thanks!
Where did you enter the paper clips?
Just wonderfull!!
This tip worked perfectly for my Sienna 06 VSC's problem. Thank you!
Instablaster.
Where the paper clips go on your obd port which pins
Bud I just followed indications he gives in this video, I just put the pape clips right in same holes he did it, and worked fine. What I found is those minivan normally have same functions in same position, never change. I hope you can resolve your issue
Best video ive seen on this issue thank you very much. Now the only thing i need is to find why my speakers stopped working.
Thanks so much!
Solved our problem with the VSC light, the alignment shop we went to with our 2015 4Runner didn't know how to clear the light.
Much appreciated, that was very easy to follow.
MartinFamily Of6 I felt a sudden vibration on my '16 runner then suddenly check engine and trac off light came on. any idea? tnx
Thanks friend your videos very good I want you are help me thanyou
Worked on a 2004 Toyota 4Runner V8. Best video I could find on this topic. Thanks!
I have a 2011 Toyota 4Runner v6. can you point out the correct way for me to find the cs/ts pin?
Thank you very much, Paul.
Worked great on my Landcruiser 90, 3.0 D-4D, 50th edition, 2001!
Lights are cleared now!
Thumbs up buddy 👍 appreciate the tips w/o all the fluff. God Bless.
You are awesome! Thank you for such a clear and concise video. You made my day and God bless you. :)
Bonnie Innocentini 👍😊
Thanks Paul.... this did the trick after replacing a faulty ABS sensor
very good, attention to detail, very clear step by step. Thanks
Worked on my 2009 Pontiac Vibe. Thanks!
I cannot believe this worked!!! My car has had those lights on for over a year. For anyone thinking about clicking on another video, just follow this mans advice!!
👍😊
Hey man those lights went away permanently? Or they came back?
Thank you! Worked perfect and instructions were simple and on point.
Excellent video, priceless (or at least $195.00 worth of) info. Thanks Paul!
Appreciate your good advice on this problem.....got through parts 1-3 without clearing the problem. Before my husband got to step 4, a friend told him to disconnect the positive battery connection, leave off for @ 5 minutes, reconnect it and start the car. Friend said that acts much like rebooting a computer. VIOLA! The lights cleared.
I've watch and did parts 1-5 and the engine and Trac warning light stayed on but then Ive read your comment and tried it again boom lights disappeared. Thanks to you and of course to Paul for making videos.liked and subscribed here 😀
Good Call! Local key shop was programming a new key and I was driving home with Engine check light, VSD, traction control, and Red BRAKE light. Using the OBD scanner revealed 3 codes: C1203, C1336, and U0100. All 3 disapeared once I used paper clips to reset the "Zero point calibration".
This is the only method that worked for me after watching several other videos. Thanks!
My car is now working perfectly. Your information is so helpful and perfect. Thanks
👍😊
You are a genius and angel on this awesome and magnificent Sunday. Thanks
Sir, thank you very very much. Your video saved me pulling my hair out. I did what you said to do and will. Couldn't do it without you And I was using a fancy snap on scanner. God bless you sir!
👍😊
Very helpful, this VSC light is on every time I start to drive made me crazy, after following simple instructions now is gone, restarted recalibrated which can not done by autoscanner tool, many thanks
Thanks you Sir are a life saver! May God continue to bless you! Take care
It took to part 4 to figure it out. The paper clip in the obd port worked like a charm. 2006 Highlander base model. God bless, Paul.
👍😊
@@proclaimliberty2000 oh I wish you would post a video on how to get rid of the permanent TPMS dashboard light on my 2010 GS 350. It flashes when you turn the car on and once you put it in drive the light permanently stays on. Also, the red seatbelt light stays on the dash even though I engage the passenger seatbelt. A local mechanic told me to do that and obviously didn’t work. And to the right of my stock radio? airbag light stays on and so does the passenger seatbelt light stays on. Both of those lights are Amber in color. I don’t like lights other than Christmas lights on my tree. Someone help because you know mechanics are going to rip off charging hourly rates to diagnose, especially if you are female and that is still unfortunate but it does occur
thank you, your video helped me to fix this issue
Wow.... That had to be the most well explained video I've ever seen posted on youtube. I didn't even need to watch this video it just happened to be the next to be played and i couldn't stop watching so im now subscribed and a BIG 👍 UP to you my freind for such an informative video. If i ever need advice on something i know who to turn to....AAAA+++++💥
Did it really fix the issue in your sienna?
THANK YOU!!! I've got a 2011 Camry, got the VSC light on after wheel barring & alignment. This fixed the issue.
You are the best I mean it. I just did it in my Lexus and worked very good 👍 thanks again.
Paul , worked like a charm. Thanks for making theese videos!
Matt Gray 👍
Thank you! This worked on my 2009 RAV4. Putting this comment here in case it helps someone bc I had to search for it: The two ports in the OBD2 you need are #4 (top row, four from the left) and #13 (bottom row, five from the left).
Thanks solvers my vsc on my 2010 toyota Corolla, God Bless you Brother, Thanks.
Paul thank you, it really works - the problem occurred in the Lexus 460 after replacing the battery
Wow! Thanks so much. This fixed my problem with Check Engine, VSC, Trac Off warning lights problem.
Ray Okinaga 👍😊
Thanks a lot! Best step by step helps to complete the job! Greatly appreciated, May God bless your clips, Do More!!
Amazing! Information is power! Thank you!
This worked great on my 2007 Lexus RX 350! Thanks!!!
O Qureshi 👍
👍 Paul...these vids to reset VSC are AWESOME....going to try this tomorrow....THANK YOU SIR!
Miniature Chicken Channel 👍😊
THANKS !Great instruction ! Very Helpful
My 2004 Sienna started with Check Engine, VSC, Trac Off combined ON without trouble code for awhile; then, one day P0420 code was added, of course it failed emission test. After struggling, I replaced the Bank 1 catalytic converter because oscillating rear O2 sensor reading. New catalytic converter fixed the problem right away; it did not only take P0420 code away, it took Check Engine, VSC, and Trac Off away as well. Now the van runs fine with clean dashboard. I thought it was weird that fixing emission problem took away traction related codes as well but I am not complaining.
Hi Paul, thank you so much man you really a genius it also worked on my Toyota wish 2014 model valve matic after trying whole lots of things. Keep up the good work.
Thanks Paul! Worked exactly like you showed!
Bill Young 👍😊
So thankful to have found your videos. Quick question. The same happened to me in a Rav 4, I was able to stop at a garage on the way home, she plugged in the code reader and says looks like there’s a throttle body problem.
Knowing that, will your advice with the paper clips still work?
Hi Paul,
I'm good, I was able to fix my problem. Thanks again.
How did you fix it?
Paul Thank you, I was able to fix my VSC light on my Lexus, with part one of your video. Its crazy how many times I took it to get it diagnosed and the VSC light kept coming back. Hopefully its fix for good now. Now I am going to reset my windows because I cannot control my back windows. Thank you and please keep posting.
My Lexus has VSC light On. Do you have link for his first part of video ? I could not find it
Paul, do you have a LOVE IT button..lol i'm a 68 year old lady, and this was the best video i have found on youtube for fixing my 4runner..Thanks so much..
👍😊
This worked great. We used a toggle switch to simulate the clips touching 5 to 6 times. Worked great!
Cleveland Lomas 👍😊
Only video i found to clearly and simply explain how to fix my problem, thank you!
Thanks for the video! Worked for my Toyota Rav4 from 2003. Was just other pin positions on the OBD plug.
did you find the pin position through your car manual? or how did you find it please?
@@manfromatlants yes, if you google the obd plug position you will find the cg position and the other one that is mentioned in the video.
Thank you very much. I will try your suggestions.
Awesome clear information. Thank you very much. Gonna try this now for a PCS light on a 2020 4runner.
Did it work?
@@redboy1400 well interestingly enough it didnt work. But i got it working. I got worried after my leveling lift on front and adding a winch that i broke the sensor on the front bumper or something. So i nerviously lived with it for a few days. And eventually it just went away on its own.
I have a 2003 Toyota 4 Runner LMT and this procedure worked on clearing the VSC/Track light as well as the CK Engine light, it's been 2 weeks and my dash is clear.
My SUV was running fine until I added 33" Nito-Trail tires and Bilstein Shocks, so far so good, hopefully I won't have to take it to the shop.
Thanks for the advice and money saved, Toyota would have charged around $100.00 or more just to clear the codes.
Gary Osborne 👍😊
Thank you ! after part 4 it's fixed. Leaving on a road trip tomorrow, you saved the day
Amber Harvey 👍😊
Dude it worked exactly the way you said... I touched the paper clips together 6 times the lights flashed out of sink,, turned the car off held the clips together and turned it on,, they flashed in sync .. recalibrated! Check engine light off and we are good to go :) thank you!!!!!!!!!
👍😊
Yes this guy looks just like red foreman but let me tell you that I tried many many processes to get my dash lights out nothing has worked but this video right here fixed a 05 Lexus RX330 and a 06 Lexus GS 300. Worked like a charm. I have had my car scanned and rest and all kinds of things nothing but this worked!!
Justin Vaughn 👍😊
Thanks a lot ! We just disconnected battery foe 5 minutes and connected battery again, the lights Disappeared. That’s amazing ! Thanks again for giving us the idea .
👍😊
This worked for me on a 2007 Toyota Highlander. I tried steps 1-3, 5 (because 5 was super easy and quick) before doing this. Thank you so much!
Randall 👍😊
This worked for me. 2005 Sienna. 1 thru 3 did nothing. Step 4 was the cure. Thanks.
Daniel Morvec 👍
Did this on a vehicle at work, has worked like a charm. Thank you for the information and great walk through!
👍😊
Worked for my 2006 Toyota Sienna. Thanks!
Where the paper clips go in the obd port
This did not work at first until I found out you have to wait 120 seconds of the lights flashing rapidly. After 120 seconds I pulled the paper clips out and restarted the car. I was so excited to resolve this issue.
This is just amazing. It worked on mine. Thanks Boss.
Funciono perfecto en una toyota hilux 2012 argentina!!! Muchas gracias!!!
Thanks a lot this method has help me solve Check VSC system.
It worked! Thank you so much Paul such a simple method and I'm really happy it worked!! You rock 👍🙏
Greg Curlett 👍😊
Beautiful! It worked on my 2006 Toyota 4Runner. Thanks!👍
smiley_face92 - oh hush Smiley. Yo cute self didn't fix that :-)
How did you find the correct ports on your 2006 4 runner ?
