That's the VSA light.

An OBD2 scan tool with the standard 16-pin OBD2 socket will work with the Euro.

Could it be as simple as you had turn off the VSA? press the button to turn back on.

VSA is on by default when you start the car. I always drive with VSA off and I have to press the button each time I start the car to turn it off.

When you press the button, only the triangle with the exclamation mark should appear. That is all you should see.

The words VSA appears when there is an issue with the VSA system.

Check your wheel speed sensors and anything that is related to ABS.

Didnt know that, will test that out.
In that case maybe I bump in while going in the car or after starting it that time, as I usually start, load gym bag in the boot, get in and drive.

How do you check your wheel speed sensors and ABS sensors? My VSA and ABS and handbrake light came on today after I jacked up the car to raise the coils.

Any progress with this? my mechanic cleared my euro 03 luxo auto codes (air bag light was on)
Now the exclamation /!\ stays on. You cant turn it off or on etc.

Checked for codes and nothing is there!! Now driving, the VSA light comes on and it runs like dogs balls.

wheel speed sensors are fine. kinda stupid now, go to clear a light, more show up... =(

If it drives like dogs balls, then the engine could be in limp mode. Is the car modded (piggyback ECU)?
