What does Vgrs mean on Lexus?
Variable Gear Ratio Steering
Unlike BMW’s active steering system, which employs a planetary gearbox, Lexus’s Variable Gear Ratio Steering (VGRS) uses something called a wave generator and a flexible gear. Lexus claims its system is more accurate and quicker acting than others. VGRS can be found on the LS sedan, the LX SUV, and the new GS F Sport.
What is Vgrs in Toyota?
VGRS is a feature that enables easier handling during low-speed driving and provides better stability during high-speed driving than conventional steering by changing the gear ratio. The driver remains in control of the vehicle as the steering wheel self corrects itself.
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.
Is there a check engine light on a Lexus LX470?
Clear codes and see if they stay away, and verify your only remaining light is the VGRS one. Disconnecting the VGRS module on the firewall will cause some VGRS related codes but they won’t trigger a check engine light.

What causes a VGRS light on the dash?
This WILL cause a constant VGRS light on your dash, but I’m learning to ignore it. When you disconnect the module, the steering shaft remains physically coupled by some sort of pawl lock but can no longer change it’s ratio. You can run it like that indefinitely.
