Why me! First all the problems with the GS, which I traded in on an IS 250. My GS is perfect now. I went to the dealer 2 weeks ago for my 5k service on the IS and learned and they had sold the GS to one of the managers brothers. And he hasn't had a problem. Yesterday my Check VSC light came on in this car too!! WTF!!!
Wow you traded a 3GS on an IS250. You must have taken a bath financially.
If you're now having problems with the IS that's really unfortunate. And still the root cause can't be found?
If it's of any help, my 2GS had check VSC light several times caused by the dealer which put a replacement TRD front sway bar on upside down and this was causing the front wheel speed sensor cable to be crushed/destroyed about every couple of months. When my CL buds helped me eventually figure out what had happened I was not a happy camper.
Anyway, was wondering if maybe somehow one of your speed sensor cables is bad? Here's another out in left field idea - are you cleaning your wheels with some special cleaner? Maybe that's going through the wheel spoke spaces and eating the speed sensor cables???

Hello, I'm new to this forum and this is my first post. HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone. I got my 2007 GS350 AWD for almost 2 months now and the check engine light, VSC and Slip Idicator lights were on last week. I will take my car in this friday for them to check and see what they say.
the check vsc, engine malfunction and slip lights went on couple of days back so i rushed the car to the dealer.. waited for an hour and seems they just reset the computer, service tech told me to try it out.. worked fine until this morning when the lights came back on.. should i be demanding they replace anything?
Well ... My 06 GS300 (RWD) is still at the dealership waiting for an ECU. I was told that ECU's are on backorder till the 9th of January. Does anyone know anything about a backorder on ECU's?

what's an ecu? if it is replaced does it solve the problem? can anyone confirm this..
thanks
I had my ECU replaced due to the check VSC and VDIM warning messages. This was back in november. It took the dealer about 1 week to order the parts...and then half a day to replace the ECU. So far so good...although I had recently had the light come on once...maybe it was just a random instance...*cross finger*
I could get the VSC error to trigger when I was on a downhill slope while holding on the brake. This happened all the time when I would wait for my garage door to open. You should try this. Maybe it will replicate the error and the dealer can better diagnose this issue.
i got check engine/VSC and light next to check engine. It just happen about hour ago after upgrading light blubs. Anyone know how to reset check engine light?? I really don't wanna take it to dealer and have them keep it for another 2 weeks. I just got my car back 3 days ago after my navigation ECU, secondary ECU behind the screen, and my sirius radio module just stop work. Any suggestions on VSC and check engine light??
Did you check to make sure the gas cap is tight? When it's loose, the VCS light comes on. The dealer said it will go away "eventually" by itself, if that was the problem.
I came to my car today and it was completely dead. I have no idea why as everything was off. I had to give the battery a charge and then it started but it had the check vsc, check engine and the triangle next to check engine on when it started. Also the windows didnt work. I had to reset the windows because I couldnt control any of them through the drivers side. I drove the car around for a block, turned it off and turned it back on and everything went back to normal. Now Im trying to figure out the problem because I didnt do anything different since the last time I drove it.
For those who brought your cars in, was the service covered under warranty? I just brought mine in, it's an '06, less than a year and a half, just had the last service 2 months ago. Also brought it in to check why my right mirror doesn't tilt up and down anymore.
I'm guessing these will both be covered under warranty but was surprised to see a $110 estimate. Any thoughts?
OK, I just got the same Check Engine - VSC Light within two weeks of each other. The first time the Dealership said it was a loose gas cap, but I use to fuel planes for a living when I was yonger and always make sure those are tight. I will now take it back in to the dealship and see what they say. I have a 2006 GS300 with RWD.
Has there been a recall? Any proper precdure to make sure of with the dealership to make sure this gets handled properly?
