This is driving me nuts trying to figure out what this switch does!:sneaky2: I have just bought a 2010 Hilux HL3 and beside the cigarette lighter is a small round switch with a red light on it. It is in place of where the manual says should be the "VSC OFF" switch but when i turn it on/off there is no "VSC OFF" light on my display. Does anybody know what it is and what it does?

vehicle stability control

 

Thanks man, i know what vehicle stability control is but the reason im asking what it is is the fact that there is no light that comes on in the display to indicate it has engaged. Plus the stability control is supposed to disengage when you switch to H4 or L4 gear. Which it doesnt.

Cheers anyway bro.

That's an aftermarket switch. They are commonly used for beacons, work lights and such, turn it on and have a walk around the outside.

 

If nothing has come on pop the blanking plug out and have a look see if there is anything attached to the fed side of the switch.

 

Its entirely likely it ran a beacon or similar that has been removed
