I'm a retired mechanic, and this morning when I started my 2005 Toyota I saw the VSC TRAC and Check Eng lite on. I didn't have time to check it, but later on I was checking Google as to what the VSC system involves, and came across your video. I never thought that a emission failure would cause the VSC light to also come on. At this point I'm guessing the attendant at the gas station left the cap loose yesterday. Hopefully this is the problem, I'll check it when I get back to the car. Great video.👍

[@mamandapanda185]

Is that what it was?

[@michaelkouloumbis6863]

@mamandapanda185 No, it wasn't a loose cap. I scanned it, and it only set C1201, which happened once before when I let the fuel level run very low. I cleared it as before, and I hasn't come back.

[@mamandapanda185]

@@michaelkouloumbis6863 Thank you for replying!

[@DocMackGarage]

@mamandapanda185 C1201 sounds more like ECU and multiple things which could cause an MIL to come on . If you get Check Engine + VSC + Trac off it will be what I discussed. In the video I went through several possibilities

Thank you for suggesting this video. I commented on another video of yours. I think it might be the Wheel Speed Sensor that's causing the VSC lights to turn ON. I took my car to Pep Boys, a US Franchise Service Center, to replace the Starter. I noticed upon picking my car up, they handed me my wheel lock, so I knew they had to remove the front wheels to replace the Starter. Prior to taking it to Pep Boys, the VSC never came ON. I am taking my car back to Pep Boys tomorrow and have them check the Wheel Speed Sensor. I don't want to spend anymore money on this car. It's 16 yrs old and I am trading it in for a new Toyota Camry. As for the O2 Sensor, I don't see any black smoke. I did test the fuel cap as you suggested in the other video and that didn't work for me.

I'm having pretty much the same issue with my Sienna. Wouldn't open the fuel door so I hit the manual release. When I took the gas cap off there was a lot of pressure in the tank but I put it back on. What did you do to fix yours?

I have a 2005 Lexus RX330. I just had added per Lexus owner's manual dexron III AT fluid to power steering reservoir and the vsc and trac off lights plus a flashing check engine light and rough idle and rough as I drove back home approximately 4 miles. Plus the weather the past 48 hours has been raining with foggy conditions and temps of 40s F - 60 F. And only have approximately 3 gallons of fuel in tank. Thank you in advance for your help and great videos.

[@DocMackGarage]

Hi , Thank you. Did you drain out the fluid first or you topped it up ? If there are air bubbles you will need to open the reservoir and turn the steering all the way to the left and the right till there are no air bubbles.

First of all, Great video. I have 2007 Camry V6 with 100,000km. It had been no problem. But last couple weeks ago, VSC check light, tracktion light, and engine check light turned on during driving on the highway. I brought it to my mechanics, and he said nothing bad is scanned. I recently changed the engine airfilter and cabin airfilter by myself. My question is 'Do you think it might cause the problem?'.

[@DocMackGarage]

Hi , thank you. Did you look over the whole video including what I mentioned in the engine bay. Cabin filter would have no effect in these lights , Panel filter there is slight chance you nudged something. Please consider subscribing to my KZbin Channel for free if you haven't already.

Have an ‘08 Sienna XLE. had all these random misfire codes (VSC) and even would have to shut my van down as the “traction control” light would blink along with the engine light causing the van to lose power and decrease in speed, till I shut it off and restarted it. And that would take care of it for a week or so then back again, usually one the Highway. So off to the shoulder again as the van would slowly lose power and buck and gas be basically unresponsive Seems like maybe the compression was changing over the 200,000 miles as i started putting premium gas in and the higher octane was the key.. as all the codes went away (once cleared) and never came back. Same spark plugs. I did change one injector (before I switched to premium gas) as it did have that code come up for the number 2. But the check engine lights would still come on. But same spark plugs on all 6 cylinders as those back are just too hard to change without a good reason. Again premium gas and all my check engine lights and blinking lights are a thing of the past and it’s nice having a dash free of those. (Those lights came on probable a dozen times in the past. But now problem solved for like 9 months now and counting.

[@georgerodriguez4051]

I have the same problem with my 2014 Sienna XLE. I am going to fill with premium hope the problem goes away. Thanks

Mine did the same thing and it was the alternator and when the battery dropped to 9v everything lit up. I saw VSC and was like what the hell is VSC! The tow truck driver new instantly he said its your alternator. He jumped started my car and I had a meter in the trunk it was 9v with the engine running. Replaced the alternator everything is good now. You think the battery light or something would have come on before it got to 9v but nope. My car was a 2008 Lexus ES 350.

[@DocMackGarage]

The alternator was not completely gone, it was at reduced functionality on the way out, if not the car would not have started unless the tow truck driver charged the battery. When battery voltage goes low it throws just about every warning you can get, but the 3 lights I mentioned is relevant to this video.
