Hey Guys,

Was driving home and the Check VSC simultaneously with the Check Engine and Trac Off. What could be the problem? Any clues?

The car seems to be running fine. Had the right side suspensions FR and RR changed a week ago. Could that be the problem?

Regards,
F.

You would have to get the engine code with a scanner.

If you have a regular OBDII scanner, try using that to pull any error codes. The plug should be under the dash on the drivers side. Depending on what type of scanner you use you may not find any as the codes may be stored in the ABS or SRS computer. You can buy scanners like the one below that will pull them but they are more expensive:


If you don't want to buy one of these, I know for 2001-2003 model years there is a procedure to pull the codes by jumping some pins on the OBDII (DLC) connector with a paper clip, but I'm not sure if this is possible for your car. If you can get a hold of the service manual it will tell you for sure.

Otherwise your best bet is to take it back to the shop that did the suspension work and get them to pull the codes. It could be any number of things and its best to find out what exactly is wrong before you start replacing things.

Sounds like one or both top O2 sensors. You have to read the codes as suggested above.

Checked it with a local auto shop. Plugged in the scanner and gave the evaporative emission code. Turns out it was because I had the car washed under the body. So the fault was temporary. Code was cleared and the car is running smooth.

Thanks for suggestions.

Go to AdvancedAuto and have them check your code...
