Warning lights staying on
I drive a 2006 RX330, the car drives great. A couple of weeks ago the dash did not show any warning lights until i went up to the cottage and drove it on a gravel road. On my way home from the cottage i noticed that the air pressure light started to flash followed by an abs light and the dreaded vsc light. I know that the vsc light is a common problem on these cars, my first gen had the same problem. The car still drives great, i checked the tire pressure it is at 40psi, i took the car to part source and had them read the computer and it showed a :PO442 evaporative Eem system leak detected (small leak). The guy cleared the system and within seconds all the lights came back on. Can anyone help please?

Could be something as simple as a loose or problematic gas cap. Do a visual inspection to make sure you do not see anything wrong with it or the filler neck opening. Make sure it is tight.
By chance, do you tend to overfill your gas tank? Constant overfilling can damage the evap canister over time.
For now, check the gas cap and we can go forward from there.
BTW, 40psi in your tires is a bit high, IMO.
