I removed the remote starter from my 2003 4Runner Limited V8 today. It was located under the dash to the left of the steering column. I just unplugged all the wires from it and removed the module. Now the VSC seems less sensitive, I can throw it sideways on a swooping dirt corner of my driveway where it previously buzzed and backed off the throttle. I'm not getting any warning lights, and I verified they are still connected because they come on when I first turn the key and when I engage the diff lock.

So is it just in my head that VSC is less sensitive, or could something be off? Wouldn't it be turning on a warning light if I accidentally disconnected a sensor?

Thanks for any info :-)
 
Yes, you would have TRAC and VSC warning lights with a CEL if the sensor was disconnected.

I don't think you have such a horrible problem if what you are saying is true :)
 
I did some more hot laps in my driveway. I think it's fine. I just recently got the vehicle so part of my perception of change could be that I'm getting more used to it. This thing is soooo much different than my 2nd Gen! What an awesome machine.

Is the buzzer for traction control and the beeper for VSC?
 
Correct!
