The Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) system in your 2007 Toyota Camry is designed to help you maintain control of your vehicle in slippery or hazardous driving conditions. VSC works by monitoring the car’s speed, steering angle, and yaw rate, and applying the brakes or reducing engine power as needed to help keep the car on track.
If the VSC system detects that the car is starting to skid, it will intervene to help correct the situation. You may feel the brakes being applied or the engine power being reduced, and the car may steer itself slightly. VSC can help you avoid accidents by keeping your car on the road, even in difficult driving conditions.
How to Check the VSC System
You can check the VSC system in your 2007 Toyota Camry by following these steps:
1. Start the engine and let it idle.

3. The VSC OFF indicator light will illuminate on the instrument panel.
4. Drive the car at a speed of 25 mph or more.
5. Turn the steering wheel sharply to the left and then to the right.
6. The VSC system should engage and help to keep the car on track.
7. If the VSC system does not engage, there may be a problem with the system. You should have it checked by a qualified mechanic.
