    Question has anyone here done the zero point calibration VSC?

    so i've noticed lately that when i drive on 4wd the VSC tends to kick in all the time when im trying to accelerate. its actually pretty fucking dangerous the other day i was crossing highway 6 from one side to the other and those of yall form houston know how bad that crossing is... but anyways i tried to go for it and when i stepped on the gas to go the vsc light kicked in and left me in the middle of the highway
    so i was doing some research and found some info on re-calibrating it and it turns out its because of the lift but i had never read about it before. so long story short does any one here know how to do the calibrating?

    Why not just do the Andy mod? And I have never had a problem with my VSC before or after my lift

    i have the andy mod done but i keep it "stock" until i go offroad cause of the ABS. i know there is a more recent andymod that keeps your abs on but i dont really want to cut a bunch of wires.
    so far from what i've read its only on 01-02 runners

    I did every once in a while when I had the top spacer lift, it would set off the traction control when I was turning into parking lots etc.

    I never had VSC, but my ABS would engage when I turned into my driveway super fast while slamming on the brakes after getting bigger tires

    It was a wierd feeling because I had plenty of traction

    My traction control never kicks in, even with a 3" suspension and 1" body lift. I think it might be broke even though no lights ever come on

    Might be, go try a burn out in 2wd..
    Ive had it leave me stuck when it was super wet out, kept kicking in and not letting me move. Since I have had the busted ABS sensor its been all good, and I'm not missing the ABS at all.
