Tighten gas cap til it clicks a few times...pull ecu fuse and see what comes back on... Trac and VSC may be wheel speed/abs sensors...could be corroded or stretched/broke wire to one. They are on each wheel hub with a 10mm bolt. Just my guesses

The Trac & VSC lights coming on don't necessarily mean that anything is wrong with those systems. Those lights will come on with a CEL automatically. Like a bad air fuel sensor will trigger a code for that sensor but also turn on the Trac & VSC lights. I'm with bufferdan, start with the gas cap, reset and see if it goes away.
