SOURCE: LS430 check VSC light on after check engine light on

My car (06 GS430) began giving me more frequent "Check VSC" warnings. (Code P0455 in my case. Really glad I bought that OBDII tool--resetting the codes is a snap!)

I knew that a loose gas cap could cause this, so normally I just give it a twist and it tightens. Now I found that no matter how many "clicks" I tightened the gas cap, it would not cinch down snug. The lightest turn the opposite way would open it.

I was all set to head over to CarQuest for a replacement filler cap. But I thought I'd inspect mine first just to see why it stopped holding. Upon inspection, I saw that what holds the cap in place is compression of the rubber O-ring at the back of the cap, which compresses against the filler neck. That apparently was no longer happening.

I carefully removed the O-ring from the cap--using screwdrivers to lift it over the edge of the groove it sits in. Like removing a bike tire from the rim--work your way around. Then I cut a strip of electrical tape about 10" long, and 1/4" wide. I wound this into the curved groove where the O-ring normally sits, just to build up a little thickness. Put the O-ring back in place. Done.

Now the cap tightens like it's supposed to, and thus far, it has stopped the VSC error codes. Don't know if it will fix your issue or not, Good luck.

First check and make sure your gas cap is tight, if this does not resolve the problem read below.
A vacuum hose has become disconnected, more than likely due to having your air filter replaced. The VSC and Check engine light typically don't come on until after 150-200 miles after the vacuum hose was pulled out.
The fix: on the right-hand-side of the engine compartment behind the big plastic housing that holds the air filter you will find a black rubber hose that is not connected to anything. Squeeze the finger clamp on the hose and slide the hose back onto the half inch nipple on the back of the air filter's plastic housing.
In order for the VSC and Check engine light to be turned off, you will need to open the fuse box, right-side of the engine compartment, and pull the 20 amp EFI fuse for 10 seconds. This will reset the system. The fuse location is marked on the lid of the fuse box, also I believe the EFI fuse is the only 20 amp fuse

SOURCE: how to fix GX470 lexus suv 2007 vsc/tract/ engine light on

On this make the warning lights all come on together, the check engine light is the cause of all.
Hello
When the service engine soon light (Also called the check engine light or engine management light) is turned on this is to alert you to the fact that Powertrain Control Module (computer) has detected a failure somewhere in the systems it controls you may not feel any difference in the way the engine runs, this can be the transmission or the engine or emission system, there are fault codes set in the modules memory for these faults. What needs to happen now is to have the powertrain control module scanned with a special tool called an OBD2 electronic engine control scanner or a OBD2 code reader. Once the code(s) are read then you must perform the diagnostics for each code and make the appropriate repairs based on the findings of the diagnosis that was performed, this is called doing "Pinpoint" testing.

2008 Lexus RX350-I have VSC OFF light flashng, along with both the TRAC light and Check Engine light on. - Why

There may be nothing wrong with the VSC or TRAC system. These lights will come on if there is a malfunction, causing the Check Engine Light to Turn On. The ECM and PCM share information with the other systems. If a fault is detected. It is possible the other systems will not function correctly. You will need to read the codes or have them read by a shop or dealership. Get prices first. This service may cost between $50. to $120. If there is anything else please feel free to write back.

Toyota sienna 2008 check engine light , with code p0352, is on as well as the VSC and trac off . What is wrong?

Find out what the sensor the code is refering to and rep[lace it for starters. The engine light is only telling you that there a fault has been found in the paramaters for sensors that have been set in the cpu. Buy replacing the faulty sensor as shown by the fault code you may also eliminate the other faults as well

I am getting check VSC system and Engine light, checked the code it is P0352, What should I do to fix my Toyota Camery 2007 XLE?

I have worked on this and they put a clutch system ( only thing I can think of to call it) On the cam shaft to give it variable speed. It is like having to replace the timing belt. this is a costly fix. not for the novice . have it check at a garage, it could be an electrical problem, the on I did was. The part I believe was $300.00 plus. So take it to a mechanic that you can trust

Vsc vsc off check engine light on 2000 toyota avalon

I just had the same issue. Cost me $40.00 to find out my gas cap wasnt clicked all the way. He also said that after the error arises, simply closing the gas until it clicked may not have removed the error code from the computer. Not sure how, but you might have to reset the computer, maybe just pull the battery?
