Hello all, I had a issue today and it made me scared to drive the SC ever again. While I was driving this light came on that kept blinking and making a beeping noises, after a while of blinking (approximately 30 seconds) the steering wheel jerked to the left and right really fast, luckily there was no car around me. I immediately pulled over to the shoulder. After a couple minutes I drove home on the service road without incident. Has anyone have this issue or know why this happened.

 

That is the skid/traction control warning. It will automatically kick on (and sound an audible beep) when you lose traction with the road to help prevent skidding and thus avoid accidents. It makes a type of clicking sound when active to reduce power to the unilateral rear wheels to help control your skid. What condition are your tires in? Were you driving in very wet conditions? Were you possibly hydroplaning?

 

I was driving on a flat dry road, my rear tires was recently replaced, but my front tires are getting pretty bad.

 

The skid control or vsc. Operates any of the four corners independently. The algorithm for it reads from the steering angle sensor, yaw rate sensors, speed sensors at each wheel, the throttle position, Lateral acceleration sensor. A sensor or the computer would had to have given the wrong information for it to apply violently while go straight down the road.

 

Would the LSD have anything to do with it? I told the previous owner about this issue and he stated that he added the supra 3.76 LSD

 

Can anyone verify if the LSD has anything to do with this, the previous owner upgraded to the toyota supra LSD

 

I really don't know. I wouldn't think that it could, but I can't say anything for sure.
