need serious help wit wierd problem.

ok well yesterday night i was in the burger king drive-thru waiting my turn to get my order when all of a sudden the VSA and /!\ come on and wouldn't turn off so i freaked and turned my music down to think about was was going on. after i payed i went around and parked in the parking lot, turned the car off and let sit for 2 min then turned it back on, when i did the VSA and the /!\ went away. then today at work i was playing my music really loud with my subs turned up all the way while i was parked in the parking lot, i had my car on so it wouldn't drain the battery then all of a sudden the 2 lights pop back on again. so i was starting to figure maybe it was my subs causing the problem but didn't really think so because it had nothing to do with the VSA function, so i took it to autozone and they could'nt scan it so i tried to turn my music up again to see if it really was the problem, and after 10 secs they were back on, wierd part of it is that they never turn on when im not blasting my music, so then i figured i should take it to a shop they scaned for any codes but found none. im really confused right now and just want to know what the problem is and how too fix it so if anybody has a clue please help me out

Thanks

i was kinda thinking that since its only when the music was on full blast that maybe the heavy vibrations are messing with the sensors from the VSA but since i don't really know anything about this im not sure whats going on. Hopefully i can get a solid answer from someone because this is driving me crazy

How old is the battery? What's the voltage across it when you must have that blaring?

That light often comes on with the CEL light and usually has nothing to do with the VSA. Odds are your current draw is more than your battery/alt can put out causing the light to come on temporarily. How old is your battery?
