Take it to autozone or any car parts store, they will plug a tool into the dash. Its under the steering wheel, above the pedals, but in the dash, and has a small cover over it.

It will spit out a code. Write down everything it says, post it in here, and someone will probably be able to give you an idea of what could be going on.

It could be any problem but I had this as well. My codes were P0171, P0172, P0175.

I cleaned the MAF sensor. It wasn't dirty (or at least it seemed). I disconnected the battery to reset the VSC lights and have yet to get a VSC warning again.

Ditto. My wife got gas and didnt tighten the gas cap down and it threw the VSC light. I don't remember the code at this point, but I cleared the code and tightened the gas cap. The code never returned.

I've thrown lot's of codes in my day, but never for a gas cap..

Check your gas cap. Loosen and retighten the gas cap. A loose gas cap can cause the Check engine/VSC lights to come on. It even says it on the gas cap.

I had my '06 IS350 throwing CELs at random times for no apparent reason. After some research on here, members were saying over time the OEM gas cap doesn't seem to seal well any longer. I replaced my OEM cap with a $5 Stant cap from Walmart. To this day, those phantom CELs have NOT returned.

Drove home, about 10 minute ride. Lights did not come on or anything. I'm keeping my fingers crossed and I did tighten my gas cap.
