    Mine did the same thing after a plug change. Make sure all the coil packs are snapped in. Disconnect the battery for a few minutes then connect it back and start it. The light should go out.

    Stupid mobile. I was trying to say that I guess the lights came on because I had disconnected so many sensors without disconnecting the battery.

    Check engine light frequently commands a VSC light as well.
    Likewise ABS will typically trigger VSC.

    aside from checking/ changing fluids, disconnect negative battery cable ANYTIME the hood is up. its just good practice.
