Problems!! CEL, VSC and Trac Off
Hey fellas. First off my apologies. I havent logged on it forever & i definitely have been neglecting my spaceship lately. I humbly come to you guys asking for help tho.
This past friday this stupid light came on in the car.
(I have no clue why the pic came out like it did, but you get the idea)
The check engine light, TRAC off light & Check VSC on the display. I googled everything. Some guy said a loose gas cap causes this. Tried..it didnt work. Others said other expensive problems. IDK fellas, i'm just looking for thoughts or anything before i take it to the stealership.
Lemme know what you guys come up with.
Thanks in advance

First off get codes read. After you know what it is you can fix the problem.
I had the same thing when oxygen sensor went. After changing one (top left), a month after another one (top right) went, lit up the same lights on dash. Changed it and no problems. Sensors were dealer OEM.

Ok guys...lil update. First off i called the dealer. They say $115 just to get a diagnostic. I almost hung up on the lady. Autozone reads codes for free. I went there. Guy says is a O2 sensor in bank 1. Before the catalytic converter.
It was like $90 bucks. I bought it & plan on taking it to my mechanic before the week is out. Unless you geniuses know an easy way to explain to me where bank one is. The part is just plug & play.
Got anything else?
