After an 8 months period I suspect that you had to charge the battery to get it to work. IF that is the case use a scanner to reset the ECM CPU program. Most of the symptoms are indicative of a corrupted program

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.

SOURCE: check engin light on and VSC on to Checked engin cod P0135

you should take your car to a shop where they will use and ob2 connector which will give you specifics on why the code has come up...you can also buy an ob2 connector at a store and try it yourself but it would probably be cheaper to take it to a shop

you will need to drive about 50 miles till the computer checks the system since it was reset. Your check engine light may come back again, if it does run a vacum test..

SOURCE: door locks and power window

Just did this procedure I got from coloradofans.com forums:

"any type of power/voltage change seems to trigger this issue

The most common symptom is power locks fail and only the driver window quits, however that is on the extended cab.

Steps to fix and it works every time.

take door panel off driver's door
Disconnect the wiring attached to window and power lock control unit
disconnect battery cables
connect the negative to the positive cable(((NO BATTERY CONNECTED)))
This will act to short residual voltage in the system

5 minutes later
place the key in the ignition and turn to the run position
connect the wiring to the window/lock controller
connect the negative cable to the battery
then the positive
open drivers side door
turn key to the off position((do not remove yet)) you should get a series of dings through speakers telling you the key is still in the ignition
once it begins dinging pull the key out and you should hear the door lock solenoids trigger and the windows should work." - Coloradofans.com forums

Chances are a small auxiliary ground wire isn't tight enough. There is usually two grounds to the battery...one for the starter and your system ground, which is usually smaller....Another possibility is a fuseable link or inline fuse if something shorted when changing the battery...more likely a loose ground tho...

i had an issue with a nissan xterra and it turned out to be a Cam position sensor. Who would have thought? Engine light would be my primary concern, local auto parts store (advance or autozone) can pull the service engine code.

More than likley its your VSC computer (VSC Trac, VSC Off, E brake and ABS brake lights all lit). This problem has been sited on other Sequoias that had the TSB brake caliper/rotor upgrade (recall) and that more than likely the VSC software or computer was not updated to meet the demands of the newly installed brake upgrade.

sounds like you need a couple more sensors. Abs light/brake may be on due to abs wheel sensor. VSC would be a steering angle sensor. skid control has its own sensor. I assume your accident also involved the wheel or wheels (some type of impact or hard jarring). The sensors arent cheap and they are easy to fix, they need to step up and do the right thing

No, your brakes should have a stiff pedal regardless of anything going wrong electrically in the car. You better look for brake fluid leaking out. Try not to let the reservoir run dry while you're looking for the leak, as that will introduce more air into the lines. Let us know what you find and if we can help any further.

The following lights came on:VSC TRAC, VSC OFF, Airbag.

You have a short in your system. Most likely from the fuse you replaced you are going to have to trace wires and figure out exactly where the short is located and replace the wiring.

ABS PROBLEM

Look up above your brake pedal and you should see a switch that is connected to it. This switch controls your brakes and in some vehicles, is tied in to the safety system. Change this and see if your van goes into gear ($10 part)
