Hello I have a 2001 GS300 - while driving today all three lights suddenly display VSC , VSC Off and the Check engine light and the car has loss of power , horrible sputtering idle. Any thoughts on this ?

Thank you,

MJ

I know that my VSC light was on along with the CEL. Took it to the mechanic and it was one of my anti skid sensors. Try going to a local automotive parts store (AutoZone, Advance Auto) and have them hook a scanner up. Not sure about the loss of power....but I'm sure someone has dealt with this before....

Welcome to the club.

Please search, this is probably one of the most discussed questions:

Most states have made a law not allowing this to be done anymore.

Autozone is allowed to hook it up to check the codes, but they're not allowed to clear the codes.

again, it depends where you're from. Its been outlawed in California to be scanned at all.

Not to try and steer the topic away... But why?

I dont remember, I think it may be a liability thing.

I dont remember, I think it may be a liability thing. Since they arent professionals.

Kind of like how you cant give legal advise or medical advise.

I know it could happen anytime, but just curious what your mileage was when this happened?

You can short two pins in the "Diagnostic" port in the engine bay to find out exactly which sensor is out.

for your cel, you should just go buy one...its only around 50 bucks and you can use it when you need it.....as for the abs/tcs....its probrably related to the cel....once cel is fixed, and cleared, those other lights may go of if its related....

Could be the battery or the alternator.

That was what happened to me when those lights came up for me.
