Hello, the reason for the vsc light to turn on is that the check engine light came on first causing the vsc system to become disabled, this is normal, once the cause of the check engine light is fixed the other lights will turn off. You'll need to find out the diagnostic codes that caused the check engine light to turn on first, most auto parts stores like autozone, pep boys, o reilly can help you with getting those codes from the computer and they do this for free in most US states, when you have the code numbers you can reply if necessary and I can advise as to what should be done.
