I have the same problem after adjusting my coilovers last weekend. I must've damaged a sensor. Didn't get a chance to have it diagnosed yet. The car drives and brakes the same. I hope I'm not causing more damage to my GS.

FYI 2nd GS owners: you don't need a scanner, just a paper clip and some know-how to get your codes.

yes I have. Used a copper wire, but a paper clip should be enough. All kinds of ECUs show their diagnostic information via warning lights, so be prepared to see a lot of blinking.

so what I'm getting from this thread is that the VSC light can come on for just about any code. Mine has been on, along with the engine light for about 4 months now. My problem though is the cat (bank 1). I scanned mine at the dealership, so I'm pretty confident they got the code right. hmmm, interesting that this VSC light would come up for just about any code.

Mine was the oil control valve, about $100 bucks at the dealer.

all those lights were just on for me

i was replacing both front calipers and decided to clean the maf while i had the car apart

g/f was in the car helping me bleed the brakes and i didnt have the maf back in yet, she turned the key to on and it stored the code for bad maf ;/

cleared the code with my scan tool after putting everything back together and lights have stayed off

fyi - cleaning my maf did wonders for my car. drives much better now. no more hesitation from when i push the pedal down to the car actually moving
