Hi! I would hate to think that this is all about money. I thought it was so nice that you could get to ask a question (like on Click and Clack on the radio).
Will try again.
My warning lights came on on my dash Sunday and have stayed on. The lights are:
1. A red light says _Check.
2. Another red light says VSC.
3. A thrid red light says VSC OFF
I read my manual, tried pressing the VSC off button---nothing. That is the only clue I got from the book.
What do you think I can do about this? Just had to spend $679.89 for four new Michelin tires!
Thanks for your help!

Unfortunatley when the check engine light illuminates on this model it automatically disables the traction control system illuminating the other lights. You can get the trouble codes read, usually at an auto parts store for free. This can tell you a direction to go to correct the problem in the engine control. When the engine control problem is fixed the other lights will go off, providing there isn't a problem with the traction control also.

Check under the hood for any vacuum hoses that may be older or brittle, a vacuum leak can and will make other codes to pop up.
