I used this procedure to perform a zero point calibration on a 2004 RAV4. Your paper clip positions worked on my car. The dealer manual showed the wrong positions. Thank you, you saved me $400. That’s what the dealer quoted.
This video has saved me. My 2011 Toyota Camry reset Steering angle sensor and calibrated to zero. All I did was disconnect both battery terminals for 15 mins, making sure to park on level surface and make sure my steering wheel was straight. Didn't even use the paper clips this time as I had no errors.
FYI - did this in 2024 - It Worked on my 2015 Toyota Sienna - Did not disconnect battery - had to do this after I changed out both struts myself. Similar videos out there however some videos skip the first step (“touch clips together 6x’s”) and only do the 2nd step and it seemed to clear the VSC light for them. Anyway Thank you sir!
Holy crap, this actually worked! You’re awesome 👏 For anyone reading this for future reference, I’ve got a 2017 Corolla…had the lane departure, traction control and vehicle collision system malfunction warnings all come up after new tie rods and an alignment and this fixed it. All of those systems are now working correctly with no warning lights on. Just be aware that the OBD socket was the other way up on my car (long side at the top) so be careful to make sure you locate the CG and TS pins for your vehicle correctly.
Thank You soooo Much !!! It worked perfectly on my Lexus RX330 after I had a wheel alignment done and the VSC light stayed on. Your step by step was terrific !!!! Keep up the great work. I'm following you forever. Thanks again.
Thanks alot, I used this and it even helps me clear the VSC and Trac off code. It saves me N15,000=$50, which is enough to buy 110 litres of Gas. I appreciate From Nigeria 🇳🇬
This is great man im gonna give it a try on my civic. Thanks and respect One thing i may add here. When removing battery terminals always remove the negative first then positive. When hooking it bsck up positive first then negative last.
Worked great on my RX300. In the 2003 RX 300, the TS is number 3 on the top and CG is number 5 if you count it from left to right. Thank you very much!
Thank you for the info on Toyota Zero point calibration. I must have searched for two days, but never found any useful information until I found your site. I followed your instructions, and it’s fixed!
Man thank you so much!! You saved me a little over $250 because of this simple fix. They wanted to charge me that much to recalibrate it. I’m glad your here man!!
Thank you! Put a new steering rack in my 2015 Sienna. This procedure cleared the C1290 code. For those working on a similar Sienna, I used OBD ports 4 and 12 (note port is upside down in car). I didn’t need to disconnect battery.
Excellent video, and it solved my problem, which I'll share for others with similar situations: 2006 Sienna with VSC and Trac Off lights on. I didn't know about this problem, because I had another issue that tripped the Check Engine light, which also causes the VSC and Trac Off lights to come on (which I ignored). Once I solved the Check Engine problem and got that light to clear, the VSC and Trac Off light came on by themselves. I believe it must have been related to a rack & pinion boot replacement done a year or more ago. Anyway, performed the procedure above and all lights are off now. Thank you for the great video!
Thank you so much for making this video! Very detailed and done very well! Helped me perform the zero point calibration on my 2013 Toyota Sienna to clear the VSC error and code. Also I didn’t have to disconnect the battery terminals first for this to be successful.
Been having trouble with my car braking by itself...very dangerous...was told to get a zero point calibration to solve this problem..will try tomorrow..thanks!
what does the CG and TS terminal stand for? If I was guessing CG would be chassis ground, I'm having an issue where I think I need a zero point calibration for my 2006 chevy trailblazer, what is the TS?
Thank u so much it worked on my 2011 sianna. Although I allmost missed it because did the contact too early, I didnt listen to "coming up soon" and did the contact too early 1st time it didn't work. I listened to your instructions again and followed excatly and it worked great.
Worked great on my 2006 Highlander. TS is pin 12 on my OBDII port. The trick/caution here is the connector is upside down on the Highlander. Thank you very much for this post; it was very helpful.
Cg chassis ground pin 4.... tc timing ignition abs pin 13 ... Sg signal ground pin 5.... Toyota late model only 1998 and newer some may differ lock side pin 9 to 16 wide side pin 1 to 8... He used signal ground and tc abs angle connection
Wow, excellent video!!! I did this procedure on my daughter's 2003 Toyota Highlander limited V6. I used pin's #4 (CG) and #14 (TS) on the OBD 2 port. It worked like a champ!!! Of course, every manufacturer is going to use different pins. This worked for the 03 Highlander and i believe will on the 4 Runner as well ? Thanks Again 😊!
Thank you for saving me.. my 4runner lights are gone just after touching wires 4 times within 8 seconds.. thank you, you are a life saver❤❤❤❤❤ subscribing your channel now..

Thank you so much work perfect i replace wheel bearing after that trac light come on i use my scanner whit the code steering wheel zero calibration. Now after you video problem solved 😊
Nice job....For everyone's information.....My 2001 Highlander always needs the ZP calibration whenever I erase problem codes with OBD scan tool after I make a repair due to diagnosis code issue.
Thank you so much my dear Sir, your video is on point. Had this problem on my 2012 Fortuner for over 10 months and by watching your video I sorted it just like that...
Sir your video is very well done, great info,great vocals.the only problem I can't find info online on where is the terminal TS & TG.LEXUS ES 350 2008 WITH A NEW ENGINE. That is why code came on I believe...thanks
new subscriber!! very detailed, straightforward explanations!! thx 4 your quality time & consideration to post these videos to learn much of what you know & just about everything Im currently learning #newmechanicintraining
Does this apply to 2001 model prado in Australia? As a non recommended scan tool was used and now vsc off light is on and also trc vsc light Yes did that on purpose to show light setup
The odd part is I have a bidirectional scan took and it says calibration successfully but the lights stay one vdc and slip. This all happened when I replaced the clock spring. I counted the number of turns left and right and made sure France there location I have 2.5 turns both left and right I think I’m gonna pull it off again if I can’t find this info
Hi Great Vidio. Just 2 Questions (1) Will this system clear the Electronic Steering program on my Vauxhall Insignia (20 Where do I find CG And TS port information.
Great video. Not sure that the battery disconnect is a necessary step. My 05 Corolla does not instruct a battery disconnect as per the factory manual. Now if only Hyundai would incorporate these simple work arounds.
Hi. Thanks 👍🏽 for the great video! Question: is the Higlander the 2.7 or the 3.5 engine? I have a a 2009 Sienna with the 3.5 2grfe engine, same as the Highlander 3.5. Thanks again!
I have a toyota camry 3.5 v6 2010 (start/stop button) and the first steps didn't work, the lights didn't flash... only the final one, when u turn the ignition on with the paper clips together, but in this case, all lights flashed.. not only VSC and ABS but also all the lights (they didn't flash together, with the same speed)! I don't know if it worked.. the lights are off now, but if I simply disconnect the battery, it's normal for the lights to be off for awhile.. I drove for 50 miles and the lights r still off.. I hope they keep it that way.. I live in Brazil and I couldn't find a place to perform zero calibrate point in my car through a scanner, it seems that the car doesn't accept it! Have u seen a car that doesn't accept the first steps but the final one works well?
Thank you! My girlfriends 2004 es330 was driving me nuts. The trac, vsc, brake, abs where all on. I got the car scanned and it had a bad rear right abs sensor. After replacing the wheel hub assembly and abs sensor the abs and brake went off. I replaced the gas cap with an oem and got a new battery after not passing a test but it didnt seem to be the fix. After doing this the vsc and trac went away! Thank you 🙌
Also I could never find anything but numbers for the terminals. (No TS or CG designated terminals.) Mostly #4 and #9 for Honda but no idea if this still holds true for 2012 models. Very interesting and well done video.
thank you so much! worked on my 2009 toyota RAV4. I didn't have TRAC lights come on, but the traction control symbol after a wheel alignment. My code reader read c1336 which pointed to this problem.
Hey, great job! I do have an Autel scanner and will try that first to see if it has a special function, which will be for ABS reset, since the Steering wheel angle sensor works together with the ABS. If not, I will try your method. I hope you had a great Thanksgiving!😉 God bless!
I recently had an alignment done on my 2016 Scion iM I heard most cars has a steering angle sensor that requires calibration after alignment. Is my car equipped with it? Does it require calibration?
I have a 2016 Scion tC. Did it work on yours? My traction control light came on after my alignment, and the shop couldn’t clear it with their scan tool
Sir, I would like to know last process to be run on the road at 25mph straight in 10 sec. It make me a little difficult to drive at that speed straight long in 10 sec. Is it require or not? Plz let me know.
@proclaimliberty2000 - My ‘08 RAV4 is not displaying the VSC or ABS dash-lights but my FIXD OBD-reader is displaying numerous codes related to steering-angle & ABS - specifically C1223 (lamp brake warning output circuit failure), U0126 (lost communication w/steering angle sensor), C1241 low battery positive voltage ABS), and U0073 (control module communication bus “A” off). Should I recalibrate the steering-angle before the dash-lights show the problems? Thanks.

This is for steering and weight? or occupant sensor as well? There is a lot of "Zero Point" verbiage out there.
