VSC, ABS, Brake System Malfunction
Hey Guys,
So here is whats up.
I have the VSC light, ABS Light, BRAKE light all on.
Check VSC System, Check ABS System, Check Brake System, Brake Malfunction.
I went to start the car this morning, battery was dead. Jump Started, and all these messages came up.
I have disconnected the battery for a good 2 hours, still no luck. I charged the battery. So its starts right up now.
The Brake Pedal is really HARD. When you brake, the car leans to the front Right Side.
When I reconnected the battery, The Brake Pedal is soft, but is instantly hard when Started.
Any recommendations is will be really helpful.

I had the same issue after my battery went dead. Unplugging the battery won't work. You have to reset and clear the codes by jumping the terminals on the OBD2 port.

Jump starting as regards warning lights is often not good. Once the car is jumpstarted and the battery is fully charged, either by the car's alternator, or by an external charger, the battery's negative terminal should be disconnected for a few minutes and then reconnected to provide a proper system initialization.
Your discharged battery is likely related to a defective driver's door jamb switch. We have discussed defective door jamb switches extensively in this forum as they are relate to mysteriously discharged batteries.

How old is the battery? These cars are very sensitive to any kind of battery issues. While it may check out good, it might be at its EOL.
I would follow jmcraney's advice and disconnect it, then try again.

I understood ShahG's post to indicate that the only remaining problem was an unexplained dead battery. He seems to indicate all error codes and brake issue are resolved. This was probably the result of disconnecting the battery for testing. When the battery was reconnected it had probably been fully charged by the car's system or the battery tester and thus provided a proper initialization source.
What's your take?
I think he is saying the remaining issue is why was the battery discharged?

I took it as he went to get the battery replaced, but they said it tested good. I would imagine he still had the issues, but we will have to wait for the OP to update us as to whether the problems and lights are still active.

Thank you, Greg3582 was right-on with his advice to disconnect the battery for a few minutes. Service shops usually charge and test the battery in place, without disconnecting it, so disconnecting it and reconnecting to provide an initialization with a fully charged battery may clear up the warning lights. You will have to give us some more details about the brake issue, if that persists.
I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.

I have no Idea what to do. The strange thing is that there are absolutely no Error Codes!
