Ok lets do this in order
P0420 Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold (Bank 1) an o2 sensor bad usually before the Cat converter P0430 Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold (Bank 2) same thing but the sensor after the cat converter the c1734 people will say you need to replace a bad BCM, but don't,, once the O2 sensor problem is addressed , that code will clear , it has to do with the remote start b2090 has to do with power doors ,, this will drop off too once the system is rest , same with the last one you listed, If I was you I'd have the 2 O2 sensors checked, replace the bad one, or both, and have the mechanic clear all the codes, then recheck them

2007. Why did check engine light and VSC message come on?

Your VSC system doesn't have anything to do with your gas cap, unfortunately. You're going to either need an OBD2 Scanner to read the messages for your check engine light or take it to a mechanic/dealership to read the code and reset that light. You can also go to Autozone if memory serves and borrow a scanner to see the codes. You can pick up scanners from amazon for 10-50 USD, or about 40 USD from Autozone. Your VSC system not working means that you're not going to have optimal stability while driving until you can get the system operational again. Note that since it's Toyota Proprietary, you will not be able to read the VSC codes with the scanner, just the standard check engine codes. If your vehicle's braking system still seems to work, it could be a sensor malfunction, but I would recommend you take your vehicle to a Toyota dealership (unfortunately) to see if they can find the fault. Don't let them BS you either... http://www.greenhybrid.com/forums/f49/check-vsc-system-warning-dealer-says-normal-display-20826/index2.html

The check engine light and VSC light came on in my 2005 highlander. 168,000 miles

P0420 & P0430 You need new catalytic converter
The P0430 check engine light code, like P0420, means the catalyst system efficiency is below the required threshold. Simply put, this means your car is adding more pollution into the air than it's supposed to.

The vsc light and the trac off light and check engine light all came on at the same time code p0420 comes up on my 2005 highlander what does this mean?

A p0420 sets after Engine and catalyst are warmed up, vehicle driven within set vehicle engine speed range and waveforms of heated O2 sensors bank 1 sensor 1 and bank 1 sensor 2 have the same amplitude.
Catalytic convertor and O2 sensors need to be tested

'99 Accord: P0420 and Sometimes Engine Hesitation & Rough Idling

First thing I would do is clean the throttle body if nothing changes check your mass air sensor if still nothing. change (or clean) your oxygen sensors can normally be found on the exhaust manifolds. also it couldn't hurt to give it an oil change and use a fuel additive to get rid off all the nasty build up in the engine I use BG 44K

That's all the information I have good luck!

2002 sequioa sudden stall

Often when the battery is disconnected or replaced the computer will lose it's learned idle settings. You could try letting the engine idle in park until the engine temperature comes up to normal and leave it like that for a few minutes, then put the Air con on and let it idle again for a few minutes, then switch the air con off and put it into drive. If it does not stall, let it idle in drive for 2 minutes or so, and then do the same with the Air con on. This should relearn the base idle settings and stop it from stalling on you. Before you carry out this procedure you should make sure that when you replaced the battery you didn't remove any other plugs or knocked anything that may be causing the fault. If you try this procedure and it still stall when you select drive, you will need to get a Mechanic to check the vehicle over.

Hope this helps,
Mark.

03 Toyota Avalon Check Engine Light and VSC Light

As compgeek09 stated, yes the DTC (diagnostic trouble code) should be found out first. And yes, AutoZone or Advance Auto Parts should be able to retrieve the code for you. Then you should be able to tell how severe the problem is.

Yes, you should still be able to drive the vehicle. When the check engine light starts flashing is when you should stop driving the vehicle. Also, if your city/state require smog emissions, the vehicle will probably fail the test. Then you'll be required to repair the problem.

Lastly, Vehicle Stability Control. That light is probably related to the check engine light since it sounds like they both came on at the same time. The VSC controls engine power. Thus, if there is a problem with the engine (check engine light), the VSC can't do it's job.

Once the check engine light problem is repaired, the VSC light should go off as well.
