. I filled the tank , adjusted the tire pressure. Then disconnected the battery overnight to reset it the computer. It did not work. Do I tried to reset the computer using a paper clip in the OBD slot 4 and 3 as demoed on some web site. None worked. I had no transmission trouble before the battery went dead

What was the end result? I have similar situation and wondering if yours was a fuel pump replacement?

computer reboot worked
I had the same problem in my 2008 Lexus RX-350, although for me it was 3 lights - check engine, ABS, and VSC off - with the VSC off flashing continually. I took it into my mechanic and they couldn't find anything wrong with the engine, brakes or steering. Their diagnostic kept returning a code that said to replace the computer, but they didn't want to rush into that - and neither did I!
So they gave up and told me to take it to the dealer. I dreaded that, and remembered this forum. I found this post, and first tried messing with the gas cap (I didn't try a new one - just opening/closing my current one a few times). That didn't work. So then I disconnected/reconnected the battery and rebooted the computer. That worked! Then I came back to clublexus.com to remember how to reset the power windows switches, as I recalled that those need a "trick" to initialize after disconnecting/reconnecting the battery.
Anyway, tomorrow I'm going to tell my mechanic what I did to fix this, just in case anyone else comes into his shop with the same problem! Thank you so very much, clublexus.com - this forum is amazing for anything and everything Lexus!

Man what a week folks. This happened to me and the wiper fluid light came on, tpms tire light came on, vsc, check engine, my dash looks like a Christmas tree. When it rains it pours. Luckily this happened after my smog check and my.milage has gone down a bit so maybe a silver lining. Sheesh....
