So I went back and grounded out the pink/gray/black strip wire and removed the splice from the original but didn’t reconnect it.So, I did this today on my 01 Land Cruiser and I’m not 100% sure I did it right.
Found A43, found pin 3 (which was a different color for me, but the pink/gray/black was present in a different location). Connected pin 3 to ground. Started it up and no VSC OFF light.
VSC off didn’t illuminate on startup (does it usually, I’m unsure now). Anyway, here’s a pic. You can see the pink/gray/black stripe on the other end opposite from pin 3).
I haven’t taken it for a drive to see if VSC will act up, but the lack of VSC OFF makes me think I could’ve screwed it up.

VSC is definitely off and I think I accidentally found the wire to disable the VSC OFF light in the one I cut in the pic above.
Took the Land Cruiser out for an hour drive yesterday and went on every road it usually goes off on and found a few to have some fun on that would 100% activate VSC normally. VSC didn’t activate and the LC was a lot of fun to drive.
I may reconnect the wire I cut to see if the light comes on, but for now I’m just glad it’s off.
