Default VSC/ABS wire question

i have a question.....would anything SERIOUS happen if damaged vsc/abs wires are not replaced? i just drop my 2001 gs300 and my vsc,abs, and vsc off lights all showed up on my gauge... my car still runs good and brakes good as usual though...

Nope, your ABS and VCS will not work though... Just watch yourself on rainy days and in snowy conditions..

I have been rocking like this since I did wheel bearings before the winter. It is just like driving a car with no ABS.

I do hate the lights though! People get in my car and are like "your car is messed up, look at all those lights"...

If your Anti-Lock Brake system and Vehicle Stability Control system sensors are disabled or damaged you will not be able to stop properly or maintain control of your car in adverse conditions. Basically when you need your brakes the most or are on the verge or loosing control of your car these systems and your car will not respond as designed.

Get the issue fixed.

Chance that insurance is going to charge you because you have a defective car....
