There should be two or three bolts holding it in have a good look and feel around the starter to see if there are more bolts.

reset the computer by disconnecting the battier for a few minutes that usually corrects the problem

IT MEANS VECHICLE SKID CONTROL.ITS TIED IN WITH THE ABS BRAKE SYSTEM.KEEP WHEEL FROM SKIDDING OR LOCKING UP WHEN YOU FAST BRAKING.

You need a scan tool to retreive the diagnostic trouble code in the VSC system

On these cars and Toyotas also, if the engine computer sees an emissions problem, it will illuminate all of these lights. As long as the check engine light isn't flashing and it's not running funny, you should be ok to finish your trip. Keep in mind the traction control may not work if you were to get into a situation where it could be helpful. Recommend checking the gas cap to be sure it is tight, it should click 3 times minimum.

Why would you replace a gas cap?
You were told, two EVAP Codes ,and what they were.
Have the vehicle smoke tested and repaired. You have two different size leaks,in that system.

well not sure, lights indicate a problem, if he reset lights, and they come back, then there might be another problem,

1. VSC means Vehicle Stability Control.

2. TRAC Off means Traction Controln is off

3. Check simply indicates that there is an issue being communicated from the onboard computer.

Take the car for a scan dear.

i think 80 $ is very genuine and resonable cost for checking.

I took mine to the dealer to find out why the VSC, Trac off, and check engine lights are on. They said it is the camshaft position sensor, it retards the timing, and causes it to lose power when climbing. Also, 1 of every 30 to 50 scions have this problem. Sounds like it should be recalled for this. The cost of replacement is about $500 bucks. Get your dry belts and valve cover gaskets changed at the same time to avoid labor charges later. I couldn't believe the dealer charges $89 bucks an hour for labor these days, Rediculous. At least it comes with a a 12 month unlimited mileage warrenty.

I suggest you try one of those instant download manuals. My brother ( a mechanic) buys it when he can't fix some technical issue He buys from www.reliable-store.com . A lot of mechanics actually do this. Website is very good for this. Must try it !!
