HELP!!! GS430 Changed Brakes "CHECK VSC" + "CHECK ECB"
I need help!! I have an 06 GS430 and changed my brake pads today. I followed procedure and even opened up the reservoir cap while doing this.
I finish.. start the car up.. and i get "check vsc" and "check ecb"... my brakes light and abs light is on..
any ideas guys??
UPDATE
so i just realize this could be a part of my issue.. when i did the the brakes i forgot to take off my parking brake.. i then kind of force the front caliper out a little bit and then compressed the piston!
that should explain why my parking brake light is on and ABS.
My parking brake doesnt even work when i press it all the way down now. Is there a way I can reset this?

I would check your speed sensor.. It happened to me before when i had my 2002 GS.. I installed my coilovers and changed my brake pads. Damaging the speed sensor wire will cause the VFC, and Traction control light to come on. I had to replace the speed sensor wire. $250 plus

The brakes are stiff because there is no electronic assist AFTER you completed your brake job...ECB stands for Electronic Controlled Brake System, DOUBLE check the brakes, make sure all connections are properly connected-this includes the sensors.
Check the basics first before going further to more complex possibilities

Also is it bad to drive the car like that for a couple of days?

Ok boys. She's at the dealership an I got a loaner es350. Boooooo. They are changing my steering rack under tsb. Also something with the rear caliper under tsb. Having them look at the AC odor as well. Also the auto headlights not shutting off automatically sometimes.
