From: Doctor Chen on 8 Jan 2008 17:41 This is weird. My family took a trip overseas for one month and when we returned the car is shot. First it's the usual low battery, ok no problem, I jump started it. But big problems when I tried to drive it. First the check engine light when on right away after the ignition is on. Then as I drive around my community the VSC and "car slippery" lights are on and I notice the suspensions are having some weird grumbling sounds. Any help are greatly appreciated. The car was totally fine when we left it. 2007 Toyota Camry SE V6, 40,000 miles. VSC and "car slippery" light on. Hear grumbling hard-spinning sounds from all 4 suspensions (wheels) Thanks!

Figures problems always started right after the warranty is gone.

If the skid control computer stores any trouble codes, the ABS warning light, VSC warning light and SLIP indicator light come on. You most likely have a fault in the skid control computer (P1578). The brake actuator is made on it as a unit and is mounted under the hood. Are you sure that you are not hearing the VSC warning buzzer? If there is a fault in this system, it should disable the cruise control, check it to see. Are you certain that when you jumped it, the connections were correct and not accidentally touched or connected to the battery in reverse? You can try disconnecting the battery to try and clear trouble codes but since this is on the brake system, it's a real safety issue and you really need to take this to someone knowledgeable, preferably the Toyota dealer you purchased it from, for professional diagnosis and repair.
