Default Need help! “VSC”, and “ABS” and “ VSC OFF” lights

I have the following lights “ABS”, “VSC”, that come one and go away from time to time ( like within a weeks span it will come on and off every other day ). Also have as VSC OFF light that’s continuously on.

I have replaced the ABS sensors on both sides. After doing so and driving for a couple days the lights still remain on?

Anyone know how I can fix this?

You need to do some troubleshooting, there is a troubleshooting guide around here.. If you vsc light is consistently on, then do the zero point calibration. check the search function please, everything is around here already.

Pull the codes to see if you can find a clue as to the main issue.

Default Got the codes pulled

Nothing for abs is showing up anymore before I did have two codes for both passenger and drive side. Those have been replaced.

currently at firestone getting them to remove the code, as supposedly it’s suppose to be cleared after an alignment. One of the reason the code comes up, among many other. But I have done the trouble shooting for the rest, I replaced my sensors. This got rid of my ABS light and the interment VSC light, but my VSC OFF light was constant and I couldn’t toggle it on or off.

Default I did how ever

Do the paper clip trick to the fuse box under the hood and got the lights to go away, even the VSC OFF light and I could toggle it on and off. But, as soon as I started driving the light came
back on and was locked to OFF as well.

Default Need to do a proper Zero Point Calibration to the VSC system

Having firestone do it, as they said the should have done with when I got my last alignment. 🤷🏽*♂️ Let’s see what happens I am here waiting on them... Keep you posted!

Sounds like the speed sensors in the front wheel/hubs. Verify they are not damages. I had replaced the suspension on my GS and for some reason I got the VSC light on constantly. Did not see any damage. Replace the sensors and reset the ECU, however, the VSC light came right back on. I drove around for about a week and it finally went off on its own. Go figure, no issues since.
So, have them check your speed sensors again.
