Default Vsc, abs, and vsc off lights all came on

So this is the second time this is happening to me, and I think what I did the first time was just disconnect the battery over night and in the morning the problem was solved.
Now the problem is that since my abs and vsc/off light appeared on the dash, my a/c sometimes reset, I can't control the passenger Windows from my door, the doors don't lock automatically and I have to wait a couple seconds before I can take it out of park. 3 weeks now and nothing hasn't changed. Car drives fine. No acceleration problem. Please help. Young Jamaican

Could be your ABS wheel speed sensors failing as far as these 3 lights are concerned....not sure about the other issues..

As for the 3 lights, had similar problem with my old GS300.

Only way to make lights go away completely is to replace all 4 sensors at the wheels.

If all 4 fail, your speedometer will stop working until you replace at least 1 of them with a new unit.

Keep us posted on how this turns out

The electrical system gets really sensitive on these cars. Any time I have a check engine light or an issue like yours I disconnect the battery for a minute then reconnect it. Make sure your battery connections are clean and tight.

Go have your charging system checked. Could be an intermittent fault in your alternator. Mine did this 4 years ago. New alternator and lights/gremlins disappeared.

Nice to see another yard man in here haha. I had a similar issue with my gs. All 3 lights came on for a few days. Turned put to b my alternator that was going.

Try switching on all accessories with the car on then use a multimeter to see how much volts is reaching the battery. For me it was 12.4, it should be around 14 volts.

While I can't say what your problem is I do know that anytime anything pops up on a Toyota it is perfectly normal to see all those lights pop up. I used to have a Scion xB and I'd get those all the time because of an exhaust issue.
