Time the lights remain on varies, but has always gone off after driving a day or so.
Is the code also for the MAF? You could try cleaning it with MAF cleaner. I had a MAF code when my plug was loose. Did you inadvertently loosen the plug?

Thank you for the follow up! I did check the MAF connecter to confirm it didn't become unfastened during the cleaning process (I didn't remove the entire air intake, just loosened the clamps near the throttle body and air filter box). The vehicle is running much smoother than it was right after performing the process (was hesitating etc, like what is normally experienced after using this type of cleaner).. I then removed the MAF sensor and cleaned with CRC MAF Sensor cleaner, re-installed and wanted 15 minutes to start vehicle, The sam light are still on, no change.
I've experienced the same situation last time the Berryman Intake Valve & Combustion Chamber Cleaner (part #2611) was used, but believed the issue resolved itself sooner than what is being experienced now. I'll dive some more to see if it resolves itself, then used OBD scanner to see if any codes are present and clear if so. I must say, the lase times the cleaner was used, a massive amount of white smoke was being emitted from the exhaust and cleared up after.. I assume the product is dong what it's intended to do.

Again, thanks!

The VSC, CHECK ENGINE, MASTER WARNING TRIANGLE and TRACTION CONTROL lights remained on. Used scanner and received a P0300 (misfire code). Cleared the code and all lights have since turned off and have not returned. First time after using the Berryman Intake Valve & Combustion Chamber Cleaner (part #2611), I had to use the scanner!
