Hey fellas. I have a 00 gs400. Ive searched but i have not found an explanation or solution to my problem. So last night I turned on my car and I had heard a weird buzzing/whining noise from my engine bay. It was coming from my ps reservoir area. I assumed it was because i was low on ps fluid. So today this morning I went to go buy some toyota t4 fluid and sucked up the old ps fluid with a baster. Topped it off to the max line and started the car and seen the vsc, abs, and vsc off lights came on. I immediately turned off the car and turned it back on and the lights were gone. Took the car for a test drive and everything was fine. Then as i went to work and hit the freeway I had seen the lights come back on. When I got to my work place and turned off the car and back on the lights were gone again... And as I hit the freeway after work the lights came back on. Does anyone know why this is happening? Its night time right now so I have to wait till tomorrow to go get the car scanned for any codes. In the meantime does anyone know why this is happening? Could it be that my ps pump is leaking? Or alternator going out? Thanks!

Check your brake fluid. Being that they come on when accelerating kinda shows, IMO, that when you gun it, the fluid moves past the sensor. Vsc, Abs, and Vsc Off issue can still be quite a few other things.

Also, that buzzing sound is your ABS computer. If you unplug it and start the car, you'll hear the buzzing again. Hopefully its not going bad

Sorry I forgot to mention. The buzzing/whining noise wasnt too loud. It was loud enlugh for me to hear it. But after i topped it off with fresh new ps fluid the whining/buzzing noise had went away. And when you say "fluids moving past the sensor" do you mean my power steeringn fluid or brake fluid?

Edit: nvm the whining/buzzing noise came back again.
