The VSC light gets triggered by the check engine light. Your car goes into limp mode. I would read the codes. Just search for "Troubleshooting Lexus Check engine Light guide by Youcnaic" and follow the instructions to read the codes. You can also go to Autozone or Advnace Auto parts and they may read the codes for you.
