  1. I had that light come on and I found that there is a hose just behind the battery that was disconnected. I reconnected it and reset the light by disconnecting the battery and it never came on again. Thanks! Will give that a try. Hopefully it will work.
  2. My wife's 2003 RX 300's VSC light came on recently. Will go off when vehicle is turned off and will stay off when vehicle is turned on. Doesn't light up until put foot on gas. What gives? I know there's so many dang sensors in vehicles anymore and am wondering if I can just ignore this forever, or should I only ignore it until Winter snow? The manual says the lack of VSC doesn't affect braking ability. Agree? Disagree? Comments/advice greatly appreciated. Tom
  3. Haven't had oil changed lately or the air filter. Did check all hoses and they seem fine. Will go buy a new gas cap, just in case. If that doesn't fix the problem, what next? When Autozone checked it with their code machine, it came back with these probable causes: "block vapor canister; open or short circuit connection; failed vent solenoid; purge solenoid malfunction; vent solenoid malfunction; block vapor canister; and EVAP hose faulty". How do you check these solenoids? What's with the "open or short circuit connection"? Could the problem really be my VSC? Thoughts/ideas? Thanks, Tom
  4. Check engine light came on, as did the VSC. My mechanic said the VSC can often come on just because the check engine light was activated. Took it to Autozone and they gave me these three codes: 0441, 0442 and 0446. Vehicle is driving fine. Is a 03 RX 300. What could be the problem? What should I troubleshoot and in what order, in order not to needlessly spend money? Thanks, Tom, Columbus, Ohio
