Vsc Light/ Check Engine Light

[BennyBlanco]

I noticed th VSC light came on at the same time the check engine light came on. Does anyone know what might cause this problem and would the warranty cover it?

[Blk on Blk GS 300]

If this is a new vehicle then yes the warrenty would cover it. I have not had that happen so I couldn't tell you what it means. In my roommates case ('93 GS) those two lights came on and then a couple of days later the ABS light came on as well and it turned out to be some fluke thing that Lexus was unable to find with diag yet when reset it never came back. That could be a one in a mill chance for all I know though....suggestion, take it to lexus.

Blk on Blk, Well the 93 doesn't have a VSC light, you mean the TRAC light?

My guess is there's something wrong with one of the yaw sensors for the VSC. The lights stay on when you restart the engine?

Thank you! This is what I meant (I think)...like I said, it was my rommie's car, I just had to hear about him b*tch about if for about 4 days...

SW03ES the light does stay on when I restart engine.

Well today when I put gas the light went out, it might of been the gas because my cousin warned me not to get gas from that gas station (that is when the light first went on).

It's not the gas. Go to autozone and let them retrieve the code. Write down the code and I will tell you what is wrong.

No its not the gas, even if it were it wouldn't just reset after refilling, the issue would have to work itself out.

I agree, take it to Autozone and have the code read.

How much do they charge for that service?

[SW03ES]

I think AutoZone does it for free...

Hi guys , I just got the check engine light /vsc light virus last night. After filling my tank up with premium gas from Chevron.

I noticed that my gas cap was not turned all the way to end.

Could any one of you tell me the following

1. The solution to a problem like this.

2. Will this prevent me from driving the car

3. If yes to Question 2, what are the other complications that might arise from this

4. What are the best gas stations to get gas for the Lexus

your responses will be highly appreciated thanks

my engine light came on from the gas cap not being on tight and on again from pooring gas while the car was on. have u added an intake lately it happens with those too. if they don't come with and ecu upgrade...but autozone is the best way 2 find out.

Auto zone in california no longer does the computer diagnostic to retrieve codes. They're being sued by Pep Boys who charges for the service and thinks auto zone should not be able to offer it free. I say boycott Pep Boys

Oh Sh t so i getting my Injen intake in week. Does this mean i might have the check engine light problem too then. How often it happen??? Everytimes you change your intake or randomly happen.Thank
