Default Reset vsc

Reset of VSC
After trying to reset VSC after techstream use on '05 it never flashes VSC with paper clip to reset. Any ideas?

I think you mean VSC, are you using pins 4&14, key on engine off?

Tried paper clip to short 4-14, turn key to on but light for VSC goes off but never flashes. Will make reset tool and try that when Male OB2 connector comes. Wondering if there was anything else to try in the meantime.

Switch is on, works correctly for about 20 seconds then VSC lite comes on along with VSC off in dash. Trying reset with paper clip VSC lite never flashes with paper clip at 4-14 with key turned on.

I have a question??? What is that method of reset for? My VSC and VSC OFF lights are on and I cannot turn them off but the car seems normal. The reset button to the left of the steering wheel does nothing.

This turns off the VSC lite and VSc off in dash.

Permanently, temporarily, or because it corrects a malfunction? What is the reason to try this?

when the lights are on, the VSC is disabled…be careful driving.

I( have read the owners manual. You misunderstood my question! Do not assume the person asking the question is a dummy. I find the CL to be very friendly in most part, but in the SC-430 area, not so much. Most areas, answers are freely offered and the questioner is not berated.
As to MY question, you stated the I should be careful driving while the lights are on and my reading of the manual suggests no such warning is necessary. And if it was dangerous to drive with it lit, I am sure there would be NO switch to turn it off, and there is.
My original questions were trying to determine WHAT are we trying to cure...other than lights on the dash .....which are not in any way harmful.
