Default ABS and Power Steering Lights UGH

Hey guys.. I have a 2011 GS350. 78,000 on it. Today while cruising along about 70mph, my traction control light came on then my ABS light.. a few minutes later my "check power steering" light came on. It gets better. I parked the car after getting to my destination where it sat for 2 hours. Cranked back up and headed home. AC was ok initially but then started not blowing cold air. Then it would be cold for about 15-20 seconds, then back to warm air. Check ABS and traction control lights stayed on. Power steering light coming on is intermittent.

What in the wide wide world of sports is causing 3 issues to occur at once??

Thanks in advance!

Sounds like your alternator is going out, and or your battery terminals are corroded. I would take it to any auto parts store and have them test your alternator so what the voltage coming out is at.

UPDATE: I didnt drive the car for a day. Started it to take it to the local Toyota dealer. After cranking it up.. No ABS warning light. No Check Power Steering Warning. AC working cold.

Took it in anyway. They did a battery test, alt test, and checked for codes. I saw the print out of all of it. No Codes. Battery (Toyota) was fine. ALT was working fine. Problems did not reoccur during their time with the car. I've driven it today after picking it up and everything is working fine like nothing ever happened.

On one hand I guess I should be relieved but on the other.. WTH??!! I just don't get how 3 things can go wrong at once and now not a trace of the problems.

We'll see what happens. Thanks for the reply!
