Hi Guys,
I have a 2007 toyota camry 3.5 v6 2grfe a/t
with multi-info display and smart key with vsc.

Is this normal?

At initial startup "check vsc system" flashes(multi-info display) with red triangle "!" and dings once when I do this start procedure:
1. scroll through(push button switch to the "switch On mode" and wait for the abs,trac and airbag lights to go off..
2. then depress brake pedal,
3.then press the push start again for ENGINE START.

It NEVER flashes anything(warning or dings) when you directly step on the brake pedal then startup the engine..or pop up any warnings or lights when driving around.

Had it scanned and no error codes were found.
but upon reset, it did'nt flash anymore when doing the first procedure,
But it came back after a couple of days of driving.(flashes ONLY once again ON STARTUP and then no more)
also did the zero point calibration reset without any improvements.

Thanks in advance.

Is the check engine light also coming on?

Resetting clears any issues in the computer but if a problem remains the self test system will find it again after running its tests. The computer is always testing the cars systems.

There have been complaints of this vsc system failing due to a single component failure which is very expensive. Thus if under warranty make sure it is noted if it fails after it expires.

Try starting the car with brake off if possible and determine if this changes anything.

The Toyotanation.com website has a few posts on this subject, the site has a search function.

 

Hi Sir,
there's no check engine light.
and our camry is equiped with the Smart Key system(push button start) and it wouldnt be possible to start the engine without depressing the brake pedal.
will try to browse thru toyotanation.com website to see if there's a similar incident like our camry..
thanks sir.
