So, twice now my mechanic, has tried to convince me otherwise of the cause of the vsc lights. This time he checked with his snap-on scan tool and got a B1S1 code as the maint light came on with the VSC lights after he performed a intermediate steering shaft replacement and an alignment. He reset the B1S1 code but the VSC's stayed lit. I decided to not trust him in this matter anymore, long story short, took a piece of household thermostat wire (solid core, small gauge) and performed the sequence. Worked like a charm. No more VSC lights! Thanks for the info and guidance.
