Default Engine codes - dashboard lit up

Hello guys,

All the best.

The car (2008 sti) dashboard has lit up like a Christmas tree, sport "S" is constantly flashing. Abs is lit up as is cruise control along with the standard engine warning light at the top.

Found out the codes which are:

P0172
C0071
C0042
C0047

The codes were cleared and have all came back. There's a lot of information online but nothing that really points to what to do first, what to change out-replace and what the actual problems could be.

I feel Im at a dead end and not sure what to do.

Anyone with any pin point advice??

cheers,

Anthony

Check/clean your air filter and clean the maf for starters

The rest.......... first off check the supply fuse for the VDC Control module.(fuse no:33) (fuse board by drivers right knee)
