Default VSC shutoff?

I was wondering if anyone knows how to shut of VSC? Mine flips on about every other day and I hate it!! The ECU thinks im loosing stabulity but ive got a full suspension set up with barely if not, no body lean. I barely puch the car and sometimes it goes off. It would be great if anyone had an answer of this.

There are many reasons for the VSC light to go on. Do a search and you will see many threads. Reasons such as the gas cap not being tight, sensors being fried, CAI problems, etc. My problem was finally fixed when Toyota replaced my alternator. Good luck finding the problem--it is a b***h to find.

I know the reason why it goes off. Ive had my intake for 1 1/2 years and havent had any problems and mr gas lid is shut propely. It turns on when I take corners mildly to hard. I wanna flip it off.

Nevermind I figured it out. The car works sooo much better without all that stuff!! I tested it at the Streets of Willow.

Took the fuse out. I didnt have ABS, VSC, and TCS on at Willow. It helped soo much! All you here is the beeping from the VSC but the breaks are not applied.

Duh, the simplest things are the most overlooked.
