Are you kidding me?? How in the world do you expect us to be able to help you when you have told us one thing - that your CEL and VSC is on.

Have you been to Autozone to have the codes pulled?

What was the car doing when it happened?

Any recent work done on the car?

Does the car still drive fine.

Help us help you

lol sorry guys I thought the combination of lights may have meant something because the cel comes on then couple seconds later the VSC and VSC OFF light comes on I am taking the car to Lexus tomorrow to have the codes read. Nothing is wrong with the car it still drives great. Its just the lights are on.

Because the car is running fine it is probably an O2 sensor or something.
