I was encountered with the engine and stability control of my 2012 Toyota Camry lights on yesterday. I tried to fixed it by myself and watched several KZbin videos. Most of them gave me wrong information or solutions. Lucky i watched your video and convinced by the way you presented. So, I run bdm and found out that the cause was from the spark plugs, So I bought from auto zone and changed it. walla ! Problem solved! One thing I would suggest other people watching your KZbin is that, they have to erase or maybe wait for a while before the light go away. For me after I changed the spark plugs the reader showed me that there is an electrical coil problem, however, after I erased the reading , somehow the light vanished. Thank you so much you saved one soul after 4 years you posted your video. 😅

[@DashboardSymbols]

So first, glad to help. Second, good work too. And finally, don't be totally surprised to find there really is a coil problem (and the lights come back). More common than plugs and the new ones may mask a weak coil...

[@yamnjam]

You have no idea how much of a relief this video is! I've got a 2012 Scion XB and out of nowhere it started running badly and the check engine light and slip indicator was on too. I took it to a shop that said the number 3 cylinder is misfiring. I bought all new spark plugs and ignition coils and will install them tomorrow. I sure do hope that fixes all the issues. They had said the slip indicator was from possibly a faulty ABS sensor, but I think it's more what you say: that the engine running bad is messing it up. Again, thanks for the great info!!!

Can one of those easy fill gas tank things become loose like a regular cap? If so, how would I know? Can the gas itself be causing the check engine light to come on?

Ok, so difficult question. Going backwards, contaminated gas can cause the check engine light to come on, but the car would be running very badly. Its most likely a small vacuum leak, which is where the gas cap MAY come in. Regardless of cap type, there will be a seal where it contacts the pipe.

Hey, appreciate all the good info. I have a 2005 Toyota crown v6 (215hp) RHD, vehicle drive great for a bit when I bought it, then one day out of the blue I get a check engine light, followed by a VCS. Thinking it was something like an O2 sensor, wanted to do a quick check with a diagnostic, hooked in and set off a power steering light P/S. Now thinking I just set off a chain reaction. Steering was perfect one second, then tight a second later, no ps leaks or anything. Maybe an electrical issue? Would appreciate your thoughts

[@DashboardSymbols]

Not so much a chain reaction. Everything hinges on proper engine operation. All else then resolves. You're likely at the point of needing a Toyota dealer. Sorry, but they know the machine best...

[@gloriafreeman6406]

I have a 07 Subaru. When I bout the car. The engine light and cruise and traction lights come on. I've had the diagnostic done. I was retold the traction light is the problem. Its AWD. And my car is losing gas. And now when I crank it up. The lights have went off. What would cause it to just go off the dasboard

[@DashboardSymbols]

First, traction control will NOT impact the engine, but an engine problem WILL turn off the traction control (so the light comes on). Why the lights are off I do not know, and I don't know what you mean by "losing" gas. Its time for a new mechanic...

So I installed an aftermarket intake system and a new crankcase filter as well, after 20mins my traction, vsc, and engine lights came on lmao, how can I disable this? Cause car drives PERFECTLY NORMAL. Took it to 120 no problem, tried to spin in out and hilariously all 3 lights turned off but then came back 1 week later

[@DashboardSymbols]

Well, I may not be able to advise fully here, but the only reason why ALL the lights are on is that your system is reading an engine problem. Likely related to emission control. So long as the aftermarket stuff is involved, you will likely be stuck with it, it may cause other engine problems, and you may not pass emissions tests, if there are some where you are. Check with the manufacturer...

[@prixer925]

Hello. I have a Ford Explorer 2008 LT. last month my battery died. I had it jumped. Then it died again. I had it jumped a second time. The “Service RSC Now” warning popped up and then the traction. I replaced the battery. Eventually, the check engine light came on with a code for the PRNDL of the transmission. I had that replaced. The transmission shop says the computer has bad programming. I had the computer replaced in March. The dealership that replaced it claims the computer is fine, that it’s my after market Wheel Bearings losing signal and causing the lights to come on. None of these lights/codes came on till I jumped my battery. Any advice? Thanks!!!!

[@DashboardSymbols]

Ok, a lot to unpack. First RSC and Traction are definitely related, so solving one will likely take care of the other. I have 2 questions: did u actually replace the computer? and Second, wheel bearings doesn't make sense. Maybe just Wheels???

A bad catalytic converter would indeed cause the check engine light to come on. That would shut off the VSC, so that light would come on. Not very likely that there is an issue with the VSC. But since they don't know that, I would find a better tech and get a second opinion on the engine issue...

The check engine light turned on because the engine wasn't working properly and a bad spark plug can make the engine not work properly. So because of that it triggered the VSC and traction control light which caused it to slide.

What the code said was a cylinder misfire so I took it to go get fixed and it was a bad spark plug.
