2006 X-Terra S. Just installed the K&N FIPK, and as soon as i turn the car on, my VDC Off light comes on, and never turns off. it doesnt flash or anything just stays on, like if you pushed a button. Anyone have any ideas? This whole VDC thing after reading about it in the manual sounds like a very finnicky thing. I followed the K&N directions to a T.

Hopefully someone can help

thanks

Tom

I would think it is totally unrelated. It may go off by itself after some driving cycles. MC

Yup, I agree. Mine kicked on for a few drives. I was ready to call the dealer and it went off, give it a couple of tries.

The K & N wouldn't affect diff....now, a check engine light.....

You could try unconnecting your battery.
Just for a few mins. to let your computer system to reset.

When I installed mine, same thing happened. I figured I would give it a day, and sure enough later on it turned off and didn't go back on. I would suggest driving the car around for a bit, then try turning the VDC on and off again.

Better yet, how about a VDC martini, dirty?

I guess maybe I don't understand how an air filter change would affect the VDC (responding to the note above that it had happened to another X owner). Does it just confuse the h377 out of the computer? It just doesn't make sense, so now I am curious :drunken:

If you disconnect the battery and then drive around it should go off. When I installed my intake it did the same thing. I also recently moved my VDC button over by the mirror controls and the VDC light stayed on. I just drove around the block and it went off.

You could always just make a service appointment at your local dealer. That usually solves it...

...the act of making a service appointment scares away Xterra dash lights.

I just installed my FIPK kit and the VDC light did stay on. The only thing I can thnik that would cause it to come on is that when you install the kit you havw to disconect the negative battery cable. The VDC light turned off before I could go 500 feet.

It must have fixed itself, he never checked in after 1st post. MC

When you disconnect the battery the VDC forgets its cal data. You have to take it for a coule of drives to let it recal it self. Mine did that when I installed the remote starter. I think it talks about it in the manual some where. The ECU also looses its emissions cal data so your truck may also seem to loose a little zip after a couple of drives. Another jewl i found in the manual, but i forget where.
