So every once in awhile i get this little yellow triangle with an !, but it has always gone away on the next startup, but there is no MID message or anything. Should I be worried about these warnings? Does anything serious trigger these? Just wondering how I should deal with these warnings.

sounds like VSA

Is it located on the bottom left hand corner of your tachometer? If so, that's the indicator for VSA being off. It is enabled automatically when you start your car back up again; thus, the disappearance.

haha, that might be VSA, yes bottom left of tach. Whew thats a relief. Turn it off??? I might turn it off if i get stuck in the snow :p

Is there anything specific that seems to trigger it or does it come on as soon as you start the car? VSA uses the same components as ABS and I assume your abs light is not coming on so that eliminates a lot. All four tires the same diameter? I had mine come on once when I replaced my steering wheel and it never came back after restarting. I think in my case it was the battery that caused it.

I don't mean to start an argument here, but are you confusing VSA with TCS (which I know isn't available on our TL's) ?

We have both vehicle stability assist and traction control on our TLs. The switch turns off both with the only electronics remaining being the ABS.

Sweet :-) Thanks man

I dont think anything is triggering it. I think it just comes on sometimes when I start the car. The last time it was just on and i'm not sure when it came on, so its possible I had loss of traction at some point which might have triggered it. all 4 tires are the same diameter.

I just had a brain fart and forgot that that light was related to VSA/ABS/Traction. Not so worried about it any more.
