DTC 1289 actually comes up under the ABS/VSC & Brake Assist system codes. It’s title is “VGRS Malfunction” for “VGRS control system abnormal”. The FSM directs you to check for VGRS DTCs using the Pre Check diagnostics instructions which I’ve posted in pdf before in one of the other VGRS threads. I’ll repost if you can’t find it. You can manually clear and extract VGRS codes if you follow the diagnostic process without Techstream, although having access to Techstream is invaluable for VGRS, AHC etc and makes life so much easier. What sort of diagnostic reader are you using? A generic reader may not reveal VGRS specific DTCs (C15xx) as they aren’t mainstream, whereas the C1289 code would probably come up on a generic ABS capable reader. Hopefully you can extract a VGRS specific code or two which will give you a starting point.I have a 2005 LX 470 with the VGRS,VSC Trac and VSC Off Lights on. There is a VGRS Fault code C1289. Does anyone know what this means and how to fix it?
Thanks
