2006 lexus gs300 engine light on
Please I need some help on how to handle my 2006 lexus gs300 . The engine light came on with check vsc and abs light and show its slippery. First I took it to autozone and they said I should change the o2 sensor which I did and all the light went off and came up like 3 hours after

First, welcome to CL!
Yeah that sounds like bad advice, I don't think a faulty O2 sensor can cause VSC/ABS issues since their functions are completely separate. As for the lights going off for a few hours after the O2 sensor replacement, the battery was probably disconnected during the job, and that will clear the error codes – then presumably whatever fault triggered the code the first time caused the lights to come on again
You'll probably need to give us a bit more info. Firstly, did anything notable happen right before the lights came on (for example: oil change, major service, tire replacement, collision, etc.)? Secondly, how did autozone conclude that you needed a new O2 sensor? Also, did they pull any codes – if so, could you post the codes here?

I just had this same issue happen to me today. I left the radio on while i was cleaning out and vacuuming the car. I went to start the car to leave and the battery was dead. I got a jump from a nice gentleman, but now i have these same lights on after turning the car off and turning it back on. Mine is an 07 gs350.
