This morning I engaged the services of a firm called UK Diagnostics based in Ilford, Essex, in my efforts to avoid the perils of Mr T and finally discover the mystery of what was going on with my VSC-TRAC/VSC On warning lights. What they came up with was this:" C1336/ Zero point calibration of deceleration sensor, undone". They said this could have something to do with my recent upgrade from 16-18" alloys. They ran a full diagnostics and everything else was coming up fine, apart from this C1336 code. Does anyone have any idea of how I should now proceed, as these damn warning lights are still on and driving me to distraction?
 
Simon Holton is the forums friendly mrT i don't have his contact details to hand but it wasn't hard to find them on here when i bought new seat belts from him :thumbup:

I had to fix C1336 on oily once, I can't remember what triggered it or exactly what I did but I followed the instructions in the FSM somewhere and it didn't need any special tools / electronics.

I think it could have had something to do with the change of wheels and tyres you performed on Oily when you upgraded from the original 16"s. That's what Issy my diagnostics man thinks. It seems that if you change anything on the car, there are sensors on it that will NOT be happy about it........

I don't think it was that John, was something else I was messing with. I had several sets of wheels and tyres I swapped between and it only happened once. Can't see how wheel / tyre size changes would upset the decelerometer zero point. The fix was to park the car on a level surface, jump a couple of wires on the diagnostics port, turn the ignition on/off, open close doors, some silly sequence, but it worked after a couple of goes. Definitely didn't need techstream or anything like that.
 
Well Jon (and everrybody else) I cam now confirm that the paperclip trick (has demonstrated in that YouTube viral) works alas with the proviso that you must also be able to reset all readings back to their default with a techstream or some other device at the same time you perform a manual C1336 reset. Look here for more information: http://www.justanswer.com/toyota/47796-toyota-highlander-vsc-light-code-xxxxx-04-toyota.html and here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FhvuuFK1cTY . It took two visits, a paper clip and £90.00 for Issy to finally turn off those dreaded VSC TRAC/VSC OFF warning lights which was £20.00 more expensive than Mr T but without the hidden agenda. I would highly recommend the dudes at UK Diagnocstics who seemed a whole heap more informative and on the ball than the boffins at Jemca. They can be contacted on 07904 371888 and are located in Ilford, Essex. I can't remember their web address but a quick google should suffice. I'm just so happy that I've got this sorted. All I need now is my key fob replaced with something more durable......Than the cheap 3rd party knock off I've been buying lately.

I'm also going to invest in my own diagnostics kit for my LC100 in the very near future.
