Default VSC Light + ABS, Brake, and Traction Lights

The dash lights for VSC, Abs, Brakeep, and Traction control have been popping on. Occasionally when I switch lights from auto to on. Other times, just on start. Shop replaced the sensors, but this still pops on. Thoughts?

Yes the same thing is happening to me but only when i drive the vehicle for a certain amount of time. But once i turn off my vehicle and turn it back on, it goes away but comes back on again. I would think its probably a bad abs sensor but in your case, you changed all the sensors and still comes on? Did you have the sensors checked out before you changed them out? If so, were any of them bad or need replacement? Im thinking about getting my sensors checked out but if thats not the case, then theres no reason to get it checked. Please any information would help thanks!

Can I still scan it for codes even if the check light indicator isn't on? Also can it be scanned if the vsc indicator is not on cause like I said, it comes on and off not solid? Thanks!

The ecu will hold the codes in its memory. So yes.

Next time it comes on, drive to an auto parts store and leaving it running, and ask them to pull the codes. LOL!

We just had a similar problem with my wife's. Autozone code reader said it was the O2 sensors. Forum research indicated brake light sensor. Replaced, no fix. Replaced battery as car kept dying. Pro mechanic with scanner was required to find. Turned out to be a rear tail light socket was corroded. Replaced light fixture. Good luck.

I worked at Autozone for 6 years and I can tell you most of the employees there have no clue what they're doing. You can give them your ID and scan the car yourself.

Thanks for the heads up. Maybe next time ill do that. I just recently bought a obd2 scanner for this issue and i tried it on both when the indicator is on and off. Both has no codes. Maye its the scanner itself. I been having this issue for awhile now and its getting really annoying. Anyone with this issue please give your input anything would help. Thanks again!!

Same thing just happened to my car on my way home. It genuinely scared me. So based on what I'm reading, its a sensor not working or? Should I have the dealership inspect it or is that the more overpriced option? What should I do?

First of all, have it scan to make sure the problem you're having is the issue because it can be several problems. I tired going to autozone to have it scanned but they wont even do that because no check light indicator is on. I even tried to purchase my own obd2 scanner, scanned it and no codes popped up even when the vsc light is on with all the other indicator. So i dont know what to do. I dont feel like going to the dealership for it because they can bs you and even charge a ridiculous amount. I can go to a local auto shop and have them check my wheel sensors but what if thats not even the problem and i paid for nothing.

Will the mass flow air sensor like the previous post mention has nothing to do with it? It might be a wheel sensor because i didnt have all wheel hub bearings replace myself and not sure i i might damaged any of them.
