Technically, that "yellow light" is the VSC (vehicle skid control) and it's suppose
to come on momentarily when your car is skidding/fishtailing. It's suppose to help
your car from skidding out of control. I kinda hate this function because when
I'm making a turn out of the parking lot or whatever, the car spins with the VSC on.
I guess it's suppose to work better as you're driving and turning to avoid
something on the street. With the VSC constantly on, then it might be a problem
with your car.

With VSC constant on means the VSC is not functioning correctly. Basically you're driving without any VSC control now.

My VSC light stayed on once when I pulled the wrong fuse. It was on for like 30 mins before it turned off. Maybe resetting the computer will fix?
