Hey guys …
I have ls460 2008 everything was prefect but after giving the car for detailing the check vsc system was turned on any idea what maybe causing this issue ?? Also my traction control is not turning off

 

Without error codes, it is impossible to tell. I would guess, water got somewhere it shouldn't be...

 

the only code it’s showing is c1201

 

The trouble light can come on for multiple issues. Hook a code reader to OBD2 port and get the trouble codes first. It could be as simple as a wheel speed sensor.

 

already tired clearing the code too .. but it just comes back on after 5 minutes of driving .I want the cruise control to work soo bad🤧

 

Do you know if a power washer was used under the hood to clean the engine bay area?

 

no idea but I think yes

 

If it is the case, you might have to check connectors around the ABS system for presence of water. Also, I wound use compressed air to try drying under the hood as much as possible.

 

it should have dried coz it’s been like 4 months am having this issue

 

At this point, compressed air is not going to do anything. If you got lucky and the system just has a poor connection, you will have to clean basically majority of connectors under the hood.

Overall, it is a bad idea to use a pressure washer for under hood cleaning.

 

Is there any other way to know the exact problem ?

 

I read a little bit more about c1201 and it seems to be a generic error. It technically does not have anything to do with ABS but more with communication between the engine and the ECU. Do you have any other error codes?

 

nope just this one code C1201

 

C1201 is caused by loss in connection to the skid control ECU. I would start from there.

 

It seems likely that you have accidentally turned the VSC off while you were cleaning. I don’t remember if it is on the dash or the center console. Look around, it should be easy to spot. It may be labeled TRAC.
