VSC (Vehicle Stability Control) Light Testing


When your VSC (Vehicle Stability Control) light comes on, it means your vehicle’s traction and stability system may not be functioning properly—especially during slippery or emergency driving conditions. At Scott's Ivy Exxon Automotive & Tire, we provide accurate, professional VSC diagnostics to keep your vehicle stable, safe, and responsive on the road.

Why Your VSC Light Matters


Your VSC system works with your ABS, traction control, engine management, and wheel sensors to help maintain grip and prevent skidding. If the VSC warning light is illuminated, your vehicle may not be able to keep traction or reduce wheel slip during sudden maneuvers, wet roads, or tight turns.


You can still drive, but your vehicle may not respond as safely or predictably—making a prompt inspection essential.
