The “check engine,” “VSC” (Vehicle Stability Control), and “TRAC” (traction control) lights are warning lights. These will illuminate your vehicle\u2019s dashboard to indicate problems or issues within the engine, sensors, converter, and other vehicle parts. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the check engine light is on<\/strong>, it can indicate the following issues-<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • A loose or missing gas cap<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Faulty oxygen sensor<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • A malfunctioning catalytic converter<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Problem with the ignition system, such as a failing ignition coil<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Faulty mass airflow sensor<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    And each problem will have a specific code which your vehicle\u2019s system can read. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    If the VSC lights are illuminated<\/strong>, it can indicate- <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • Malfunction within brake switch components<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Low brake fluid levels<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Wiring issues<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Malfunctioning ABS system<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        Check Engine Light: Problems And Fixes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

        If you notice your check engine light is illuminated, scan your vehicle’s computer for trouble codes to identify the problem. You can view these codes in an odometer readout. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

        You can also read trouble codes by purchasing a code reader (Our recommendation)<\/strong>. <\/strong>It connects to the vehicle\u2019s computer, analyzes the codes, and shows it directly on your phone. It\u2019ll also have many benefits, like tracking battery health maintenance and oil levels. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Here\u2019s a chart with specific trouble codes along with their problems, symptoms, and fixes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
