The VSC is the Vehicle Stability Control. It appears there is a fault in the system somewhere. Also, if your Check Engine light is on, the VSC light will usually kick on as well. Fix whatever is causing your Check Engine light to come on first, and see if that also solves the VSC issus. I hope this helps! :) -Jason

SOURCE: Toyota Avalon 2006, I ahve a VSC indicator light

VSC is Vehicle Skid Control. The system is usually on, but when you turn it off (on my mother's 01 Avalon, it's on the knee bolster, below and to the right of the steering column), the indicator comes on in the cluster to let you know it's turned off - it's just a reminder to you that you don't have that safety net activated. The way the car is set up, even if you turn it off, when you shut down the engine and then restart it later, the system is rearmed automatically.

What I'm thinking is, since you've obviously had the engine on and off and the VSC OFF and TC OFF warnings are still illuminated, you probably have a problem with either an ABS sensor, a yaw sensor, or something related to those, as those systems rely on a bunch of sensors to work. If they have failed, it should illuminate the check-engine light. Stop at Auto Zone or Advance Auto Parts and have them scan the car's computer (it's free). They'll give you a list of the fault codes that come up. If you post them up here, I can define them for you and help you solve the problem - just post them as a reply or follow-up on this posting.

Testimonial: "Thanks a bunch!! Big help and I will do what was suggested to solve the problem. Thanks again."

SOURCE: vsc vsc off check engine

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?

01 toyota avalon vsc, vsc off, and parking brake light on

The VSC uses the brake system to function. So if the regular brake system is not working correctly the VSC will be disabled.
The brake warning light is for the parking brake as well as the hydraulic brake system. So it could be low on brake fluid or something else.

I have a check engine and a vsc light on my 2007 toyota avalon limited, what does that mean

It means you need to read your owners manual

Also that you have a Vehicle System Malfunction,
that needs attention within a couple of days, of ANY
Light or Symbol on your dash

The check light may be one problem &
the vsc is drivetrain or you may just have one,
need to get the codes before you can start to
figure it out

How can I turn Off the VSC signal on my dashboard and what does VSC mean?

It takes a special reset tool. VSC (Vehicle Stability Control) it's Toyotas' version of anti lock brakes. One of your sensors are either loose, shorted or disconnected and it needs to reset once scan has been done.
