How To Perform Zero Point Calibration On Your Car

[@TNKHNA]

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.

[@giveme10feet]

U didn't do anything but clear the light temporarily! It will come back because the calibration still needs to be done!

[@Mrpaniolo97]

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!

[@jamartin005]

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.

[@johniskander9787]

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!

Paul, Can you tell me if the TS terminal is the CAN LOW (terminal 14) on a NIssan OBD2. I assume the CG is chassis ground terminal 4. Having VDC issues with my Nissan. Thanks David

[@sparechange73]

Did you get an answer to this?

[@davidoblati591]

Sorry did not check response. No did not get a response but believe worked out myself that it is. VDC issues persist as not game to try paperclip reset of computer.

[@mblake0420]

What a load of shit. These cars are becoming a hassle, they should have tools built into the radios to work on them, unacceptable especially limp mode

[@nikolasj123able]

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.

[@Kanoemirate]

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 🇳🇬

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!

[@gmay8493]

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.

[@JoshuaCyberNerd]

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.

[@mulisha1760]

Which pins did you use for your sienna? I'm having the same issue with no luck

I used 12 and 4 on my 2015 Sienna. But note OBD port is upside down

How on earth did you figure this out! 🤔

[@yoels.]

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.

[@proclaimliberty2000]

[@velocity800]

the problem is HOW to determine which one is the TS and which one is the CG !!! if you miss it then it will fry the ecm... i have the 2007 toyota 4runner and it does not say in any google site which one is ts and tg, toyota website doesn't say so as well,,, it's really a russian roulette!!

[@Mik35959]

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

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?
