- This morning when i started my car I saw that these three icon were illuminated in orange.
After a quick check online i could see that many Toyota matrix and Pontiac vibe owners have experienced this behaviour. The most common reasons seems to be related to the Gas cap and wheel sensors. My situation was the gas cap.
In some circumstances the car may still have the three orange indicators on. it may require some time or a code reader to confirm and clear.
full disclosure: I am not a mechanic and rely on the advice and guidance of my mechanic. Although this method worked for me I always recommend to connect with a trusted mechanic. - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
I’m a jet engine mechanic. Had this same problem. I do most of my own maintenance and was able to solve this problem with the help of my code reader. After replacing all 4 struts I took the Vibe to my mechanic for a wheel alignment and told him about the VSC lights coming on at the same time as the evap codes I was getting. He told me that Toyota’s VSC lights will come on when the car is experiencing just about any other problem. Even though I knew better I was still topping the fuel tank off after the pump automatically shut off. Luckily either my charcoal canister dried itself out or the new gas cap did the trick. I no longer top off my tank…lesson learned!
Wow, I heard you shouldn't top off but never heard why - thx!!
I have been troubled with that problem for a month. Thank you!
mine did this on my way home today and i’m so glad i came across this video i didn’t think it would work but jeez i’m glad it did i was freaking out driving home
glad to hear it could help
@@iwentoschoolforthis yes, my lights did come back on and it didn’t work again when i tried it but once it got dark out the traction light on the button started to glow and the lights have been off since so who knows but i’m happy hahah
Same!!
because its either this or the wheel speed abs sensor
Thank You!! I was sooo scared whit my boys when this happens yo me on a 2 lane hwy @ 1am!!!
Thank You so much it fixed!!! GodBless you
Really helpful, thanks a lot
If anyone frequently drives through mud or snow, here is how to disable traction and stability control on the Vibe. To disable only traction control, look for the button on the lower instrument panel, with the car and wavy lines. Press and release to turn off traction control. Hold for 5 seconds to turn off traction AND stability control. Both the traction light and VSC light should illuminate. Systems will reactivate when the car is turned off and restarted.
My vibe does the same thing but mines isn't because of the gas cap
It can also be wheel sensor, MAF sensor, or either up or downstream 02 sensors as well. Maybe more. A code reader can be helpful in diagnosing this.
same thing happened to me this week
I had this problem too my reason for it happening was a crappy sensor in the brake system
After changing the gas cap, my mechanic told me to safely ignore a warning that was build in to satisfy the EPA and no one else.
Mines do that but has nothing to do with it the code p2419
862453 in the first car… 120000 in the fixed car? What the heck?
have you seen how expensive gas is lol
“Trip A” vs odometer reading
It’s a whole ass different one. Look at the miles people LOL
Lol. You are correct its different km but its the same car. I had used footage from the first time this happen.
