Question Help please! VSC,ABS,VSC OFF Lights on

Hi! So I have a 01 GS300 and the VSC, ABS, VSC OFF lights came on, but not only that my Odometer has reset to "0" and keeps resetting each time I drive. The code that I got is C1223.
But...
Does anyone know the reason to why the odometer would be resetting and how I could fix this issue?!

I've been searching the threads and got alot of great info, especially being a noob, but just haven't found my exact answer I'm looking for.
OH!!! Also, anyone know where I can get a good price on the ABS sensors?!

Thanks for any help if anyone's in the Vegas area I'd love some info of some local shops.

the lights that are on just mean the car is in limp mode because of the code. its a way for the engine to protect itself .
c1223 is for an ABS sensor. replace that and you should be good, if that is the only code/issue.

sewellparts.com or a junk yard

from previous experience the electrical system is pretty sensitive. I would disconnect the battery and make sure the battery post and terminals are clean. Then make sure the terminals are tight when you reinstall them. Since the battery will be disconnected while you do this the computer has a chance to reset. When you start the car again see if you get the same codes.

When my VSC,ABS,VSC OFF lights came on it was the alternator. GO and have it tested.

^^^^^ same. If you dont have around 13v at the battery with the engine running in park and all the accy on (headlights...ac...radio...wipers..ect) then the alternator is on its way out. These cars have a module/computer for nearly every function so voltage is king.

Thanks for everyone's reply! I appreciate it! Turns out that one of the sensors just wasn't connected. (Mind you I just bought this car) so lights are off but odometer is still resetting.

I still need to figure out that issue any suggestions?
