If it's just the VSC lights. Check the ABS speed sensors. One might be completely dead, and not sending signal. If you have a ABS scan tool it'll let you check which one is bad. If not you can disconnect it, and check it for resistance with an DMM.

With certain engine codes and the check engine light on, it can disable the vsc system and cause the light to stay on. My friend had a bad oil vvti solenoid and that caused the vsc light to come on with just that one engine code on a IS300.

What exactly are your engine codes?

Get the code read from your local Autozone or auto part store. They should come in a Pxxxx forum for example P0421. Let us know what you have.

Probably abs speed sensor. My gs had the same problem after only 100,000 miles. Not too hard to replace
