To expand on what the previous guy said, you need to use a code reader to find out what code is being thrown that caused the CEL. Until you correct that, you can’t clear the VSC/TRAC light. As for the TPMS light, just bypass that, unless you are the type that never checks tire pressure, and needs a light to tell you that you have a tire getting low. At this age, the batteries are likely shot in the sensors, so you may end up replacing all 5 sensors (batteries can’t be replaced), which the system needs to get readings from, and they all need to be programmed so the computer can recognize them, which can get pricey depending on who does it. There are helpful threads if you search here that tell you how to easily disable the TPMS and make the light go out. One of the methods requires cutting a wire in a plug behind the glovebox, but there is another one, which I chose, that only needs a small jumper for that plug. I preferred that method since it is easily reversible should you decide you need/want that system to function again. When I bought new wheels and larger tire, I just used regular rubber stems instead of spending the extra couple hundred for new sensors and programming. I grew up without nanny controls though, so I’m used to maintaining things like tire pressure without a light to tell me to.
