Would would cause my 2003 Toyota 4R check engine, VSC Trac/VSC off lights tp stay on after a 90K service?

I took my 4Runner to a generic service center for a 90K service. They changed the oil and oil filter, added a flush to clean engine, machine drained/flushed and replaced the transmission fluid, ran some type of fuel injector cleaner directly into the injectors, added fuel system cleaner into the fuel tank, and changed the air filter. After this the check engine light, VSC Trac and VSC OFF lights stay on. I had seen on another site that the VSC Trac/OFF lights will come on and stay on if the check engine light comes on and that the check engine light would come on if the engine had some misfires. When they were putting the cleaner directly into the fuel injector system here was a lot of smoke and possible engine misfiring going on. The gas cap in on tight. Can I expect the system to rest itself? If so how long will it take? If I pull the car battery will that rest the lights (if if there was nothing else wrong)?Would would cause my 2003 Toyota 4R check engine, VSC Trac/VSC off lights tp stay on after a 90K service?
Typically, when a fuel injection service is done to a Toyota V8, it will set random misfire codes as well as possibly A/F sensor range codes. These are actually normal conditions to occur during that type of service. Usually it's the more inexperienced technicians who forget to check and clear these codes after the service. Sometimes you can pick up the vehicle and it's won't decide to turn on the light until you've gone some ways down the road. Either way, if you take it back they're obligated to look at it for free since they just performed that service.Would would cause my 2003 Toyota 4R check engine, VSC Trac/VSC off lights tp stay on after a 90K service?
As you know,many things can set the ck eng light (and yes the other lights are on due to this).Take it back to the shop just got all your money %26amp; have them scan it (pull codes).If it is missfire code,likely happened when they were cleaning your injectors.Write down the code and have them clear it.Hope lights do not come back on.Would would cause my 2003 Toyota 4R check engine, VSC Trac/VSC off lights tp stay on after a 90K service?
take it to an auto parts store and they can plug in there tester and tell u whats wrong with it . it pulls the tyrouble codes. it takes about a minute.

The same thing just happened to me....I have asked the same question to a Toyota mechanic at JustAnswer.com.



I will post back when I get a response from him.



PS - Did your cruise control quit working??
