check engine vsc light

The check engine light could be something wrong or just the annoying light that comes on every so-many miles. The way to check to see which one it is --shut van off with keys still in it,,push and hold trip button while turning the key to the position just BEFORE where the car will crank,,,then you will see all the lights come on and on the mileage/trip area you should see a series of dashes flashing and then the dashes will reduce down to none,,,, and your done.back to off position and start car normally--no more check engine!! If it comes back on within a day then you may have something wrong,,the vehicle skid comes on when vans tires spin too fast I think--not related.
