F06. INITIALIZATION OF VGRS SYSTEM
The DCC fuse is removed at the assembly
plant to reduce parasitic current draw from
the battery during transport and storage.
As a result of the removal of the DCC fuse,
the VGRS system will be inoperative and
the steering wheel may become off-center
in accordance with the steering wheel
turning angle at the time when the DCC
fuse was removed.
After the DCC fuse is installed to its original
location, the VGRS system will be
operative but the steering wheel may
become off-center by 5-10 degrees to the
right or left. When the battery terminal has
been disconnected, this condition may
also appear.
Therefore, please initialize the VGRS
system in accordance with the following
procedure after installing the DCC fuse to
its original location or reconnecting the
battery terminal.
NOTE:
Do not adjust the steering wheel
centering (i.e., do not adjust tie rod
ends) before initialization of the VGRS
system, or the steering may be off-center
on the opposite side after initialization.
a) Find a place to drive straight for at least
5 seconds at a speed greater than 22
mph (35 km / h). Then drive the vehicle
on a straight road at 22 mph (35 km / h)
or more for 5 seconds or longer. At this
point, the steering wheel will still
remain off-center by 5-10 degrees.
After this, make several right and left
turns. The speed when turning is not
critical.
NOTE:
In this step, the neutral position of the
steering wheel is recorded in the VGRS
ECU memory.

drive straight again and the steering
wheel should be centered. Confirm
steering wheel is centered:
Steering wheel is centered - Initialization
Complete.
Steering wheel is off-center - Proceed to
step “c”
c) Confirm initialization has been completed.
1. Access the VGRS data list using
the Lexus Diagnostic Tester.
2. Confirm the STRAIGH ANG FLG
parameter reads VALID.
NOTE:
Prior to initialization, the STRAIGH
ANG FLG parameter will read INVALID.
When the VGRS initialization procedure
is complete, the STRAIGH ANG FLG
parameter will change to VALID.
D
If VALID and steering is off-center,
refer to the steering wheel off-center
diagnostic procedure in the repair
manual .
