What does it mean when the VSC light and engine light turn on at the same time on a 2012 Toyota Venza?

When the VSC (Vehicle Stability Control) light and the engine light illuminate simultaneously on a 2012 Toyota Venza, it typically indicates a potential issue with the vehicle's engine or emissions system that is affecting the stability control system. The VSC system may be reacting to a fault detected by the engine management system. It's advisable to have the vehicle checked by a professional mechanic to diagnose the specific problem, as ignoring these warning lights can lead to further issues or decreased vehicle performance.
