Default VSC and Check engine light came on, Carbon Buildup CSP has already been completed.

Good Morning All,

Within the last 60 days I have had the Carbon Buildup issue resolved from the dealership. This morning I started the car and the "check VSC" "traction Control" and "check engine" light came on. The car was a little rough on the acceleration but other than that it drove normally.

The only thing I have done to the car since I got it back from the dealership was change out headlights and lowered the car (shocks and RM springs). I have not done anything mechanically to the car.

Any idea what it could be? I plan on taking it to the dealership to see if it's the same issue they resolved with the carbon build up... I’m really confused

Thank you for your help in advance.

You should first check the codes first and see what it is.

Same thing happened to me. I had to replace both sensors and even did a seafoam flush, now I have to buy a cat.

What sensors you replaced? And really you had to replace the cat?

A/F and 02 sensors and yes. It's been a headache and the dealer by me is horrible period.

Happened to me the other day. Pulled a PO101. Cleaned the MAF with some maf cleaners from autozone, reset the ecu, car runs perfect.
