Default Pesky VSC Lights...no more!

If you've had a automotive tech hook-up a OBD scanner to your SC and after you leave you notice that your VSC/VSC OFF lights are now on follow the instructions below and do not waste your money bringing it back as they may tell you that you now need to buy this or that part to fix the light.

NOTE: It could be possible that you have a problem, but try this first and if the lights come back on then bring it in to be looked at.

Follow the below instructions:

Yeah...sorry about that...I should of put in a .PDF...thanks bob!

.docx is Word 2007 and above. If you have Word 2003 or lower you would need the 2007 compatability pack installed.

Mine also has the abs light on and the trick above will not clear the fault on my car.
I since found out it is the abs speed sensor on the front wheel wire that been stretched and needs replacing.
I hope one the new sensor has been connected and i do a reset then all will be good again

Very true! If there is indeed something wrong with the vehicle this trick will not work. This is just a fix to the tech that forgets to reset your VSC lights after a OBD connection.

An insulated paper clip worked perfect for me. Thanks for posting!
