What is my car's problem
My check engine light came on a couple weeks ago. I thought it was because of the gas cap being open while getting an inspection. Then, yesterday i was driving hard pushing like 70 and the light came on again, along with the traction. When i turn the car off the traction light goes away, but this is the second time it happens. What the hell. Has anyone experienced this. Other than the light being on, my car is fine, yesterday night it was riding great.

No idea about your problem, but if you think pushing hard on your car is driving at 70 then you should drive with me once in a while 
Hard, isn't the word!

When check engine light comes on, usually you can find out by locating the engine ECU, look for how many blinks it recycles. This will tell you excatly what your engine problem is.
Do you have TL-P or TL-S? VSA on S is different from TSC on P. My TSC came on once while I was driving fast and lost traction. It basically just blinked a couple of times and went off.
