Why is the fault light still on on my VGRS?
The dealer ran a diagnostic which identified the ECU, after fitting a new one they could not calibrate the steering wheel. They then said it was also the spiral steering harness and fitted a new one (so far £1000) they now tell me the fault light is still on and it is also the steering actuator (£2600 more for the part plus fitting).
What happens if a VGRS fault is commuciation error?
Was advised that if the fault was a commuciation error due to a partially damaged wire then in the event the wire shorted to earth the vehicle steering would be lost, i.e.no connection between steering wheel and road wheels. Does that mean i have to change my name to John?
Is the LX570 an LC with or without AHC?
Let’s begin with a theory. The 200-series LC (without AHC) and the LX570 (or LC with AHC) are like New York & LA.
Is the LX570 the same as a Land Cruiser?
New Yorkers, in other words, make a hobby out of kicking LA in the shins. LA folks, on the other hand, try to emphasize how similar LA is to New York — how similar the capability of the LX570 is to the capability of the non-AHC “cruiser” — we all know this anxiety LX folks have when they pull up next to a Land Cruiser.
What to do if your VGRS is not working?
If that solves the problem, clear codes and see if they stay away. Disconnecting the VGRS module on the firewall will cause some VGRS related codes but they won’t trigger a check engine light.
Can You disconnect the VGRS module on the firewall?
Disconnecting the VGRS module on the firewall will cause some VGRS related codes but they won’t trigger a check engine light. Last thing you could do is swap out the VGRS steering column for a non-vgrs column, but all that will do is eliminate the lock pawl.
What to do if your Lexus LX470 VGRS is not working?
Leave all the other plugs installed. This should at least leave the VGRS module disconnected, which means your steering will no longer change it’s center position, but if your VGRS computer is messed up, you might still get other warning lights. If that solves the problem, clear codes and see if they stay away.
