Check VSC and Check engine light is on, need help..
just driving today, my check engine light and my check VSC light came on today, i dont even know what is going on, i read the manual saids to bring it to the dealer, is it cover in warranties? what do i do? i didnt do anything to my car.. man..HELP..
if you didn't have an accident, everything is under warranty! take it to the dealer
Did you recently buy gas? If so, check to make sure that the gas cap is on properly.
The check engine light (VSC light comes on at the same time) simply means that the computer has recorded a diagnostic trouble code. Without knowing the code, it's almost impossible to guess at what it might be. (except, of course, checking the gas cap) Assuming it's not the cap, take advantage of the warranty and bring it to the dealer.

so im going to the dealership tomorrow, because i have the check engine light and VSC light, so i decide to take off my injen intake, and replace it with stock, so after i did that the light disappear, should i still go to the dealership tomorrow?? or leave it alone? i have my intake for a year and a half now and i have change the filter on it 5 days ago, you think because i change the filter that can cause the problem? may the sensor was not use to the clean fresh air? what should i do?? should i go tomorrow and see what happen? or its useless and when can i replace my stock intake with my injen intake again?

Changing your air filter shouldn't cause the check engine and VSC light to come on. It could be the MAF sensor being dirty. Nonetheless, it wouldn't hurt to have the dealer diagnose to see if there's any error codes. I had those lights came on before and it turned out my car was running lean.

I've had the same thing happen when I change my HID bulbs. It came on because I turned the car one to check the lights while the cable to the MAF sensor (at least thats what I think it goes to) was unplugged. I reset the ECU and it went a way.
