BjCaleb Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 Hello all, On Saturday I picked up my 1999 Lexus LS400 and the car is a great car with just 98k miles, that engine is a monster and hands down is the best engine made... Well, on Sunday, I took the car to a local Tire place to price new tires and get a "FREE" brake inspection. And everything checked out fine, the brakes are in great condition, new rotors and pads, I just have to apply more pressure then Im use to but I will get use to that...But when I get home I noticed the VSC light came on and on the dashboard it said "CHECK VSC"...I know it has to be related to the brake inspection...Any ideas? Did they mess up a sensor or do something wrong? I followed the manual to reset it and it worked temporaily but now it is back on and I needed some feedback before I go to the dealership to pay this $100 for a diagnostic. :chairshot: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If check engine is actually on then VSC is simply a default, fix the engine "fault" and the VSC will clear automatically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BjCaleb Posted June 18, 2007 Author Share Posted June 18, 2007 So, WWest your saying I should have the Check Engine code pulled and have the code cleared and the VSC light will go away..? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless the VSC was on alone and/or before the engine check light, YES. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BjCaleb Posted June 19, 2007 Author Share Posted June 19, 2007 The Check Engine light came on first, then the VSC light came on second, today I am going to go to my mechanic and have him pull the code and clear and see if that takes care of the problem.
