it can be a serious issue, check vsc can means a lot of things. you need to read out the error code and see what the problem is.

no need to be changed, sometimes the cap are not tightened up good enough and it will throw a code and cause those lights to come up. tighten it up and give it a few dry runs and it will go away

of course, there can be other causes but this is one possibility
