Default 2005 ES330 Lexus

VSC, TRACOFF, Check Engine lights, are on, I really don't think you guys/gals have anything seriously to worry about. These 3 codes have been coming on intermittently since I bought this car, I never really paid too much attention to it, I have driven from FL to Texas at least over 10 times with these lights fully lit, now mind you I do regular maintenance on my vehicle religiously, from the serpentine belt to the transmission oil, to regular oil changes(synthetic). My point is these lights have come on they go away and I yes I have replaced the gas caps, reset my battery and the codes go away and come back another day, but my Lex just keeps on keeping on...

Jess here, I have a 2005 ES330 Lex, and I really don't think there is anything to worry about with the check engine, trac off, and vsc light on. I have had these lights on intermittently for the last 3 years, I have driven from Fl to Texas and vice versa for at least 10 years with these 3 lights on and never have had the slightest of problems. However, with that being said, I do keep up with maintenance like oil changes, transmission fluid changes, and serpentine replacement, and have my coolant checked regularly.

I have a Highlander 2005 with the same problem: the VSC, check engine, Trac off light on in a the past few weeks , then it was off, and now it came back the light on.
I bought a gas cap replaced it yesterday, running for about 50 miles this morning the light still remain.
Did anybody has this same problem ? how can we fix by our own ? Thanks

Last week tha same thing happened. So, I replaced the cap with a new one right away. But, as of yet, the lights are still on.
Maybe it needs a bit more time to reset as the car is not driven daily. But, if the cap is not the problem, do any of you have an similar experiance?

Thank you all for any suggestions.
I had the same lights come on after filling up at a particular gas station (during a state fuel shortage, must have gotten debris from the bottom of their supply tank). Had the lights for the longest time. Then I changed my oxygen sensor, replaced some hoses, and adjusted the timing belt. Haven't had the lights come on for quite some time now.
