Caution Light came on Last night

Last night I looked down as soon as I started the car and the caution light indicator remained on ( Just above the fog light indicator on cluster) I pulled over and turned off the car and started it back up and it went away. Anyone have any clues as to what this is. Thanks

If it was a triangle with an ! inside, that is the VSA warning light. You may have inadvertently pressed the VSA button, on the left side of the dash below the mirror controls, after starting the car. If the light is on, signifying manual activation of the VSA, it will turn off when you turn off the ignition, and as long as there is nothing wrong, will not turn on again unless you press the button, or if the VSA activates during certain driving conditions.

If it just showed VSA, then that is the VSA System Indicator. If it came back on when you restarted the engine, this is an indication of malfunction, so see your service manager.

There is a picture, with reference information, on page 51 of the owner's manual.

This might sound a little bit wacky but try it...
Unscrew your gas cap, screw it back on and make sure it clicks like 5-6 times...trust me...

That's good advice, but it applies to the Malfunction Indicator Lamp, located under the Cruise Control Indicator coming on, not the VSA light located above the Fog Light Indicator..
