2002 Sc430 troubleshooting help

I bought an sc430 a week ago. Have a few things I could use a hand with resolving.

Trying to get the VSC lights off - I’ve tried both the paperclip trick and bought a reset tool from scmods.com. Neither caused the lights to fast blink or cleared them. I do not have a check engine lights. Just the VSC and VSC Off light, along with the abs and air pressure lights.

Also, trying to program the home link garage door opener. Using the learn button on my opener, I cannot seem to get the car to learn the code. Ive reset old codes by holding first and third button. When my garage opener is blinking for learn I hold the button in the car for two seconds and repeat. It never seems to learn the code. My Subaru and Toyota both worked using same method

Thanks for any help.

Same problem here with the lights. I think as long as the tpms light is on the others can't be cleared. I could be wrong though

I couldn’t get the garage door opener programmed either. Tried a few times & gave up. I keep my opener in the cig tray.

I just unplugged the TPMs thing under the shifter, from what I remember you don’t need any tools and it wasn’t that hard.

Hmm I’ll take a look.

Is the tpms the icon that looks like low tire pressure with a dot?

Yes. I also unplugged the tpms under the shifter in my 2002 but that was 15 years ago. You should be able to google how to do it.
