Default Check Engine, VSC, VSC OFF, Lights are on

Check Engine, VSC, VSC OFF, Lights are on. They have been on for almost 4 months and I am getting tired of looking at them. Car never felt any different, even my gas mileage has stayed the same so I didn't put a huge rush on fixing this. I am guessing its just the sensors? any body know how to replace them?

I will have to get the code checked again. I did it once and it didn't make no sense not even to he guy at Autozone. He cleared them for me and there were no lights. But then they came back on a day later..

even though u a member from 2006, i know u didnt search as their are many many threads on this instance,heck you could have run the codes yourself and searched for those codes. could be a few things....will wait to get a few answers before i can link you to a correct thread.

before the lights came on did you get into a wreck or have any suspension work done where you might have ripped the speed sensor? any issues with the master cylinder or has it been replaced? also their is a thread by jefftsai on how to REPAIR them if they do get ripped (you just have to actually search)

Which one? All of them?

Get the code and search for the fix. Chances are someone else already encountered and repaired the issue. If not report back for help.

Brian, your the thread saver lately. I feel sometimes as of im a A-Hole by telling everyone "is search button down". lol.

Some people unhook there battery, re-hook and get away with it. lol. I'd pull the codes though in all reality and see what its pulling. Then throw that code on google and itll tell you what it is. Although it hasnt affected your gas mileage or drive, i would take care of the issue before it leads to other damage you could have avoided.

seriously please stop....their are MANY reasons he could have the EXACT same lights. WAIT till he pulls his code....and while he could have the same p1349 that DOESNT mean that this will be the ONLY code he will have so it still wouldn't necessarily mean he has the same issue or problem your having.




please dont assume to know the codes before the OP even posts them, your not physic brother, just give him time to pull them

hard to read sarcasm on the internet john so i dunno if u kidding or not...

i am calm,never was upset,i bolded/changed the color to highlight a few key points that was all. i mean how is he gonna tell the OP what his codes are before the OP even gets them? not to mention EVEN if they have the same code it doesn't always mean its the exact same issue if that makes sense to anyone (it does in my head )
