If I remember correctly, I had a hose come loose that generated two or three of these codes. It was the hose that comes off of the bottom of the air filter housing. You might check for loose and disconnected hoses before going to the dealer. Emissions errors can be a pain to trace, but sometimes a quick scan can fix it.

"It was the hose that comes off of the bottom of the air filter housing."

Air filter housing as in the air intake? The area below where the Air Maf connects to, that would mean I would have to get under the car right?

And thanks for the tip, I will definitely check for loose/broken hoses.

I cannot remember what codes mine threw cos it was fixed under ext warranty by the dealership. CEL, VSC and VSC Off just like yours. Both times this happened, it was an O2 sensor. The fix was to replace with a new O2 sensor.

It may have not been on the air filter -- I was on the driver's side on the top and it was a 3/8 or 1/2 inch hose. This was in the AutoZone parking lot when I fixed it (with the help of a friendly store employee). He recommended checking before buying attached part in question.

Had a similar problem, can't remember the codes though. Below is the thread that helps identify the small hose that sometimes pops off and causes the VSC and engine light to come on.

I had the same issue, once I connected the little hose all was well and all my lights went away. But then I started to wonder why that hose came off on its own. After some research on the forum it turns out that my motor mounts were broken. These motor mounts were also causing the car to have a vibration when i was at idle. Had the two motor mounts and one transmission mount replaced and "bam" the car feels so solid and smooth. Good luck.
