Default "Check VSC", WTF?

i start up my car last night and all the lights light up on my dash.
the traction control light is on, the yellow check engine light is on, and the ebrake light is on. on the info display it says "check vsc"

i drive it and notice vcs is disabled (i'm able to peel out with ease)

my car only has 20000 km's. wtf?!

anyone else ever had this?

Don't worry about the VSC, it gets disabled when the check engine light comes on. On of the most frequent causes is a loose gas cap, so I'd check that first. If it's not loose, you need to bring it to somebody with a code scanner (e.g. the dealer) to read the DTC (diagnostic trouble codes). There are dozens of unrelated things that could cause the check engine light to come on.
