I discounnected the battery for about 10 minutes
It cleared the VCS code and the Check Engine light
When I start diving the VCS light comes on but not the Check Engine light
The VCS light will not come on untill I start driving
Any thoughts LEXMEX
Thanks Jim
At what point exactly does it come on (mph/forward/reverse/etc.)?
You can start the car and the light will not go on
You can put the car in gear and the light is off
As soon as you roll for about 5 secounds either forward or in reverse
the light comes on

If the CEL is not on, there is a good chance it will come on at some point if you kept driving for a bit.
Where I have seen instances of where a CEL does not come on, but the VSC does is related to calibration of the yaw rate sensor. Since you got a code related to it before, there's a chance that CEL would come on again at some point. Generally, these things needs to be reset at a dealer. However, I have seen a workaround on this, https://www.clublexus.com/forums/ls4...c-vsc-off.html

He hook up the reader and tell's me I need a new computor for the Lexus, CODE1201 ????
