Have you tried pressing the VSC on/off switch? It may be that you have switched it off accidentally.

get the codes read to see if there are any faults

Sometimes cheap code readers can trigger those lights to come on. They can be reset by shorting two pins in the OBD connector. I can't remember the pins off the top of my head, but do have a print out in my code reader case which I can grab if you need the pins.

Hi there,

I know this message is four weeks ago but hope it is still open.

My engine warning light came on and local garage did diagnostic and found faulty o2 sensor. They reset warning light and gave me price for repair.

On way home the VSC OFF light and VSC light came on. Some research on the internet showed this is a common problem when diagnostics are carried out.

I am waiting for replacement o2 sensor to arrive, but managed to cancel the above warning lights with the help of a paper clip and some instructions found online. The faulty o2 sensor and the VSC lights are not connected .

Like the previous answer it works although I was a bit concerned about bridging terminals in my diagnostic terminal.

It worked for me and if you require more details, post a reply because I do not have the exact terminal details to hand.

Just for completeness in this thread, the pins to bridge in the OBDII connector under the dash are pins 4 and 14

Procedure is:

1. Ignition off
   
2. bridge pins
   
3. ignition on (do not start the engine)
   
4. Leave on for 30 seconds
   
5. ignition off
   
6. remove bridge
   
7. Check that lights are now extinguished.

where have you been, when I had the same prob ))))))))))))

I had the same problem (see below for details).

Fault: "VSC" (Vehicle Stability Control) and "VSC off" warning lights stay on

Car: 2nd Gen Lexus GS430 (UK - right-hand drive vehicle) - 2004 model

How did the fault arise?
Car ran out of fuel a few yards short of a gas station. I put it in neutral
and manually pushed it a bit. After filling up and switching on, the
warning lights came on, and ever since then, these warning lights have
stayed on. They were never there prior to this pushing - 100% certain.

What had I tried to do since?
In the central console (between the front seats) there is a button to switch VSC off. That has no effect at all.
I have tried disconnecting the Battery for 30 minutes. On reconnection, the warning lights come back on almost immediately.

And then?
I found the OBD-II connector (I had read that shorting out pins 4 and
14 of this connector might clear the fault). This connector is supposed
to be near the boot-release (trunk-release) and eventually I found the
discreet little panel.

Then I shorted pins 4 and 14 for 30 seconds as follows:
ignition off
bridge pins 4 and 14
ignition on (did not start the engine)
leave on for 30 seconds
ignition off
remove bridge

And hey presto, VSC and VSC Off lights disappeared.

However, I expect these warning lights will come back on. If so, what next?
