When ever the check engine light comes on the ecu disables the vsc and that is why the vsc lights come on as well. Nothing wrong with vsc, engine ecu has to fix its problem before it can control vsc.

Find out what the codes are and maybe we can help.

thanks for the info i did not know it disables the vsc; i really thought they were giving me the run around with the gas cap story but anyway its on again and i did not get any gas in the past few days so it has to be something else. I will ask about the codes on monday when i take it in

Hello,

I just had the same problem with my 06 LX470. My fault code was P0456 Evaporative Emission Control System Leak Detected (very small leak) it turns out to be a faulty gas cap.
