VSC and Traction Control Problem

[JM4Runner7]

I have a 2003 4Runner. There was alittle accident where a tractor had hit me on the passenger side, but only on the front, and the damage was very light. So the body shop fixed it and it looks good, but when you drive, and this could happen at any given time, the traction control will come on without warning and I'm not even on a turn and it's not slippery or wet, and will about jerk the car off the road and sometimes it'll jerk it left to right and back again. There will be a beeping sound and a picture of a little car with little swirls behind it on the dash. Does anyone know how to fix this so I can get my car back? Thanks!

abs/vsc line/sensor probably went bad.

get it replaced at the dealer or at the body shop.

There is a TSB for the replacement of the VSC computer (up under the dash). Mine was doing the same thing. They wound up replacing the yaw sensor & then the computer.

If you look, I had a thread on this a month or so ago in this section, complete with TSB number & other details.
