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?
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!
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
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.
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!!!
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.
I was skeptical but this worked EXACTLY as Paul instructed and fixed the problem. Thank you Paul for your easy to follow video.

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).
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
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.
Thank you for being loud. I cant hear most car tutorials when im out there with my little phone.
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.
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 ?
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!!!! 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!!!!! 🙋♀️🇨🇦🚙❤👍🏼‼️
Thank you very much for this important video. I didn't wanna to take it to the dealer because they will charge so much.
Thanks again.
Have a blessing day as always.
Jack
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!!!!!!!!!
👍😊
Grandson and I just performed this tip. On 2013 taco, Awesome to the point instructions.!!!Thank you so much..:)
Finally Someone who put a video out that was straight forward, and useful! Thank you so much..
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.
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 worked for me. 2005 Sienna. 1 thru 3 did nothing. Step 4 was the cure. Thanks.
Daniel Morvec 👍
Does anyone else think that Paul looks like Red Forman from that 70’ show? Like if agree
Eric, don't be a dumb ass 😂
I was thinking he looked a lot like George Karl!
Like his friendly brother lol
Hassan Allawati More like Clarence Bottinger on Robocop!
😆😆😆
get some glasses and you and Scotty Kilmer would be mates
Yeah,i was about to say this
😂😂😂😂😂
Hahaha I'm not the only one note that... same way to speak
Kilmer is click batey where this guy seems legit... Scott's title would probably say. Gain 50hp by doing this & it's free... however I have not done this vss abs reset.
😁😁😁
You are awesome! Thank you for such a clear and concise video. You made my day and God bless you. :)
Bonnie Innocentini 👍😊
Paul thank you, it really works - the problem occurred in the Lexus 460 after replacing the battery
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.
Thank you so much RED from that 70s show... you are life saver.
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 👍😊
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?
I would pay money to listen to this guy debate Scotty Kilmer lol
As if what Jordan , they're anywhere near being in the same class? Kilmer would just berate this guy for suggesting to amateurs - or anyone - to play wire games with their OBD11 port .
@@waldipup Playing with the OBD can toast your computer. But in this case it has helped me clear that silly vtrac abs garbage. Scotty is a class act. Dont use this opportunity to sling mud.
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
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.
👍 Paul...these vids to reset VSC are AWESOME....going to try this tomorrow....THANK YOU SIR!
Miniature Chicken Channel 👍😊
Best mechanic in RUclips. No better way of explaining it. Thank you so much.
👍😊
Excellent video, priceless (or at least $195.00 worth of) info. Thanks Paul!
Thanks Paul you made a big difference to my sisters racing heart 😆
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.
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
Just putting it out there but i tried several fixes with no love. I thought id change the spark plugs as i had no idea when they had been done and there was almost no electrode left! I gapped them and replaced them and no lights so far!
Hey that’s great! 👍😃
This got to be such an annoyance, eventually just wired a momentary switch under the dash.
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.
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.
Thank you so much for your mechanical brilliance Paul. Can you put please (put together) part #1 thru part #5 under your video's (if its not much trouble) on "How To Fix Your Check Engine, VSC, Trac Off Warning Lights" I think you will get more views if theses videos are all listed together. God Bless You Paul for helping us all. I had to buy a OEM factory 2009 Toyota gas cap, that is on its way, they claim this OEM is important "I don't know". The other gas cap, I have is what they call FAKE advertised Toyota gas cap . I detached the battery cables and my (VSC and engine light code went off) I will keep you updated. I had to go thru step #1 thru #5 to get my lights to go off. It took me a while to find your part #1-#5 on your videos. I think this is brilliant you knew this:) God Bless you!!
class Hi, I put part one through part seven as you requested. Could you check on your end and see if it comes up as you requested? Thanks Paul 😊
@proclaimliberty2000 I had to make my own playlist of yourd so I can find all the parts easier, this info is too good to be so hard to find!
Try it,and wala it work!!! Thank you so much I really appreciate it,GodBless you❤
very good, attention to detail, very clear step by step. Thanks
Good day, wanted to ask if you know what TS pin is for? I have a 2015 Nissan Versa with the "Slip" light/VDC on solid. The pin out chart shows CGND-Chassis Ground, but I do not show a TS. Thanks Josh
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.
Thanks but my check engine light has been on for 8yrs!! I think I'll be lonely if it were to disappear.
Hahahaha
😂😂
Lend me some strength 😢
Hahaha😂Hahaha
Lolsss
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?
Paul is AWESOME!!! Thanks so much!
Worked on my sons 2003 Toyota Highlander BUT I used ports 4 and 14 same 4th one on bottom but 14th on top. Thanks.
Paul , worked like a charm. Thanks for making theese videos!
Matt Gray 👍
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.
Should we make sure that the wheels are straight BEFORE we touch the paperclips together ?
You said after but seems like before is proper ?
Thanks. Anybody knowledgeable please reply soon.
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!
Dude, we already have ONE Scotty Kilmer. Do we really need another one?
Amazing! Information is power! Thank you!
So after pulling my hair out trying to figure out why my master break light, abs light, and VSC light kept coming on and off I tried something I thought was silly (before I found this video) I tried a new gas cap, idk why on earth a defective gas cap would make those lights come on (not the check engine light though) but yah was a defective gas cap for me no reset needed. So check your gas cap too as it may be messing with your brakes (saying that even sounds silly) but it was the issue.
You are a genius and angel on this awesome and magnificent Sunday. Thanks
I can't wait to try this thanks so much!
Funciono perfecto en una toyota hilux 2012 argentina!!! Muchas gracias!!!
Thanks man for all your advices I just tried that one on my 2007 Toyota Sienna I hope it will work

Where to put the paper clips in the obd port
Worked for my 2006 Toyota Sienna. Thanks!
Where the paper clips go in the obd port
I really worked on my toyota fj thank you very much
Luis Gonzalez 👍
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 ?
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!
Worked on my ‘05 Highlander this morning. Thanks!
Where did you enter the paper clips?
Thanks buddy that worked in my 2007 lexus IS250
I have a 2001 Toyota Sequoia and am trying to find which pins are the CG and TS. I can not find a diagram online that tells me. Anyone able to help?
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
LmAO 😂 This guy sounds exactly like
Scotty Kilmer..
Glad you just said "sounds like" because that's where the similarities end ....
My 2007 gs430 had the diagnostic say the right front wheel speed sensor fault. On checking the connector I noticed it has some vertigris on the brass pins and in the receiving sockets of the plug. Cleaning those terminals cleared the fault.
Greetings,
I'm testing my 02 Sequoia with a multimeter after a p1126 engine code. When I test the throttle control it clicks and spins but there is no signal from the electrical connector on prong 3 (blue wire). How can I figure out if it's my ECM or the harness cable?
Does anyone know where I can find an OBD Diagram for a 2006 Scion XB? I need to find out where the CG & TS terminal connectors are. Having no luck search for it myself. Thanks in advance!
After checking the gascap i personally would scan the vehicle, for me it was an o2 sensor when this happened
Thanks for bringing this short video
Usman Adamu Gaga 👍😊
I love it❤👍thanks for sharing love.
Very good advice 👍
Old school my respect thank you for your knowledge....
Worked for 2003 4runner. Thank you.
👍😊
not sure anyone will answer but i'll give it a shot, toyota venza 2014 XLE VSC and engine light come on and starts shaking and it'll stop , it happens around 50-60 mph on freeway...it's almost like I have to shift gear manually ....changed spark plugs and coil packs, catalytic converter , cleaned and swapped the fuel injector, oil pan gasket all cleaned up and changed, oil gasket, new gas cap BUT I have not reseted the computer though and it's still happening ...I did have misfire codes BUT they are gone now so that should be good ...ANYONE ANYTHING?
In the 2006 4Runner Repair Manual I downloaded the OBD chart is called "DLC3" and it shows the following ports/slots - SIL, CG, SG, BAT, CANH, CANH, CANH, CANL, CANL ....and so I do not have a TS slot you mentioned here.....sadly......
I looked for parts 1 - 3 of your "How To Fix Your Check Engine, VSC, ..." videos, but I cannot find them. (I looked here on your channel page - www.youtube.com/@proclaimliberty2000). Could you post a link to the first 3 videos on this VSC fix.
I have a 2008 lexus rx350 that has "VSC OFF" flashing, and the ABS light on, and what looks like a car with swerving lines behind it also on. Several codes are also set - U0073, C0205, U0126, U0123, C1223, U0124, C2122)
I see a lot of different comments but not one asking how in the world you figured that out?? Care to indulge me? Ha ha and thank you!
Please I need help. 2007 Lexus RX 350. Connecting the TG & CG more than 4 times before turning the car to the ON position didn’t work for me, nothing blinked. I retried this step while the car was on the ON position and now only the ABS light keeps blinking, the VSC TRAC OFF is still on the dashboard. That’s where I’m stuck.
Nothing else works, turn car off and on again and I’m back to square one. ABS, VSC TRAC OFF and BRAKE light on.
What can I do to fix this please?
I have a 2007 Toyota Highlander. Both the check engine light and VSC light are on. They came on in the afternoon. The TRAC off light isn't on. I did get gas in the morning and I do remember hearing the gas cap click when I put it back on. I'll try some of these to see if both lights turn off.
Paul, I want to attempt this zero balance, but I am not 100% sure of my obd2 pin layout, so I am reaching out for help before trying this. I have a 2011 Toyota 4runner sr5. I need insurance/help with the obd2 pin layout to find the cg/ts pin. ( my truck has an obd2 16-pin layout)
Hello sir, I have this issue and wanted to ask before I do this procedure. Had suspension work done along with alinement on a Toyota Sienna. Not happy with the alignment because the steering wheel is off line (do by a your kid). Should I have the alignment done again (of course by a different alignment shop) to make sure the steering wheel is straight?
I could use your thought on this. Thanks.
Amazing I did, the light are gone , this light was in my car for 2 years
My 2008 Lexus RX400h had ABS, VSC, Traction Control, break (!) lights. I tried this procedure, now I have BREAK light on too 😢😢😢. Please help.
Damn. I tried 1-3 and gave up. Just spent $1500 at repair shop to get everything cleared. They said they had to replace my catalytic converter. 😮😢 2004 sienna. Wish I would have tried this first! Ugh.
@philiplee1216 I did exactly the same(disconnect the battery and paper clip trick ). I drove for three hours and the issue returned 🙈 mine has a traction light+vsc+engine light...
I'm working on a 2012 Honda Pilot and no matter how hard I look I can't find any terminal marked TS. I see a lot of remarks on Honda referring to number 4 and number 9 pins but nothing matching what you've listed. Please update me if you can. Thanks..
Just disconnecting the negative battery cable for 30 seconds turned off these lights; but they kept coming back on; a simple scan showed that my downstream Oxygen sensor was bad; apparently several problems run through this same system !!
Thank you so much for your help.
