CHECK VSC SYSTEM warning light on after replacing tpms sensor
Replaced one tpms sensor at discount tire today
After installing the sensor, the guy kept spraying liquid (maybe soapy water?) on the valve stem and tried several times to twist on it (maybe it was leaking?) Then he had to break the tire bead again and replaced some small parts and then it seems ok to him.
After re-programming is done I was asked to drive the LS460 out. Surprised to see warning light on dash "Check VSC system" with VSC light and ABS light both solid on. I asked him why this happened he had no clue and suggested me to go to a dealer.
Then the boss stopped by and reprogrammed one more time with a handheld tool. all the lights were off and seems everything is fine.
Never have seen this before at discount tire store.

I changed all sensors and did not program them. The car is at the dealer for an ABS actuator. The actuator and pump were changed and the ABS/VSC lights remain on. The dealer insists the issue is electrical and couldn't be related to the tpms sensors. Can you confirm the TPMS swap triggered ABS/VSC lights?
Thanks!
Thanks!
