Default VSC warning lights

Can anyone point me in the direction of why these warning lights are randomly occuring? Have been to the local Lexus dealer, they took my $100 & told me they have no idea...thanks

Check your abs sensor on your front hub both left and right sided. To see if it rip or disconnected. I would of took my $100 back if they could find anything that just me.

Since the brake and ABS warning lights are on, I'd have to assume it's something to do with the braking systems of the vehicle. Yeah, my first thought is the ABS sensors too.

GL!

Have you done anything recently to the car; I have had experience with this going off after I changed or did something the car didn't like. For example changing the steering wheel or the headlight bulbs, I turned the car on and off a few times/drove around a little, and it ended up going away.

if its something obvious like a ABS sensor, I'd go back to the dealer's service manager and request a refund. If their techs cant determine a bad ABS sensor (or something similar) then what are they doing working at a Lexus dealer??

even when these lights go off, everything seems to operate normally. after several power cycles they eventually go back off & then will return when ever the gremlin decides to show itself. it could go weeks it could be minutes...

All those lights and no "Check Engine Light" ey? I would think its a speed senor or something related to the brake system. It could also be a "Bad Ground" somewhere in the vehicle. I would go back and complain. If they took $100 to diagnose and came up empty, I would give them the red flag and go nuts to make sure they do something about it.
