Question 2010 LS 460L Engine and VSC skid lights are on

Perhaps someone can assist me here. My LS 460L (2010) has both engine lights and vehicle skid light on. Any idea on what the issue could be? Thanks.

Do you have a VGRS message too?

What check engine light codes do you have? Would probably help diagnose the problem. Get yourself a scan tool or head over to any of the parts stores they will read the trouble codes for free. I had that combination of engine light and check VSC before and the code was for a misfire on one of the cylinders (P0302 meaning cylinder two IIRC). Got the spark plugs changed, solved the problem.

Thanks. I had my car scanned at O'Reilly's this morning and the code was P0012 (Camshaft Position Timing - Over - Retarded (Bank 1). However, right after the scanning, the lights (engine and VSC) went away!! Strange! I guess I'll wait and see if they reappear.

It probably went away because O'Rielly's cleared the code using their scanning tool. If it reappears, you might have to replace the VVT electric motor. If I recall correctly, someone else on the forum had a similar issue and went to the dealership to get it fixed and cost them $1,000.
