He is referring too this thread:

Sticky: RX300 Mega Thread. Start here if you have a problem

Scroll to the top of the main page and you can see it there. The VCS and CEL combination can be triggered for unrelated reasons like leaving the gas cap open among other things.
Hope this helped.

In addition to the posts above, the lights are on for a specific reason. An educated guess as to the problem may be perfectly correct. But we don't have to guess. Take your car to a local parts store and they will scan the codes related to the warning lamps for free. Post the codes here with the parts store guy/gal comments (if any).
