I would recommend taking your car to the dealership, it probably needs a new speed sensor at one of the wheels. This thread may be of some help to you!

It could be...
Hey JPSEO,
Okay I had the same type of readings on my gauges. Only difference is that I had low idle at times. Now it could be your speed sensor like GS430 guy said, but if you are experiencing low idle it is a blown valve. Go to the dealer and hopefully you still have a warranty on your car? The "VSC" and "VSC OFF" is just a back up to your "CHECK". That was explained to me by my Service Manager. Hope that helps you out, but when in doubt take it to the dealership.
