2003 Sequioa VSC - what fixes it?

I'm reading alot about 2003 Sequioa's with VSC problems.

What I can't quite figure out from reading numerous posts, is, the fix.

Is there anyone out there who has had the dreaded VSC problems and also had a successful fix? What is it that fixed the problem?

Not looking for rants about the costs, rather, what was it that fixed the problem?

Thanks all.
