when i first got the car, i held down the vdc button for a while and got it to flash several times on the dash. I forgot about this until just now, i have no time right now, but you guys should test it and let me know what it does...

For the G, all you have to do is press the VDC OFF button. That will disable VDC and you can do your burnouts. The new Lexus IS doesn't have such a button so appearantly this workaround is needed.

I heard that even with the VDC off you cant do brake stands though. I havent tried a brake stand because frankly tires cost to damn much but I thought I'd post the link anyway.

Unless you have money out your a.ss or replacing your clutch AND your tires, burnouts are simply a waste of...
1. Gas
2. Tire tread
3. Clutch life

If you go into your engine bay and pull the plug out of the brake controller box (the shiny aluminum box with the brake lines coming out of it). It'll kill everything, VDC, anti-lock, everything. I heard it from the guys that go drifting. Once you're done, plug in the wire and restart the car and you're back to normal. the box is near the driver's side mirror btw.

Why not just unplug the VDC main controller right under your arm rest?

pulling the brake fuse allows 100% throttle when both pedals are pushed down (otherwise i believe the ECU restricts the throttle to like 70%). i have no idea if unplugging the entire VDC controller would accomplish this also... anybody wanna give it a shot?

somebody on the forums sells a kit to put this fuse on a switch so you can activate and deactivate it from inside the car.

and, regarding burnouts... the night before i got my aftermarket rims and tires and got rid of my Pilot Sports... well, i smoked the **** outta them for a good 2 minutes. if i was worried about wasting gas and rubber i would be driving a different car (my average in the G is 12mpg usually)

The main VDC controller is actually under the steering wheel. In the G you have to remove one screw from the underdash and pull it down and the CPU is right there.

The yaw sensor rests under the arm rest. Geesh!

Does pulling the brake fuse really allow 100% throttle while just turning the VDC off (via the switch) does not?

KP, does your VDC memory module do something different than just turning the VDC off and remembering the last state (akin to the brake fuse pull)?

Odd because when you disconnect the yaw sensor the ABS, SLIP, and VDC lights all come on. There is no ABS at all because I've locked them up during a test

With the yaw sensor disconnected I would imagine that the VDC/ABS computer goes in to fail safe mode, thus no ABS.

The KPtechnologies VDC module just 'pushes' the VDC off button automatically. I've never had problems with throttle position when I shut VDC off. When I push the button I believe that there is no intervention from the VDC/ABS system.
