Default Warning lights on

Suddenly all the warning lights on the dash just came on as i was driving home, VSC,Brakes,ABS, TPM, etc. Everything seems to work fine and was prior to the lights coming on. Wonder it it might be a failing battery. Any other ideas from anyone. Dealership is 70 miles away and also can't get to it for several days due to work schedule.

Disconnect the battery for a few minutes, this appears to be the "chicken soup" for many of our cars when they are ill. If that doesn't work I have no idea!

I wonder if the local Toyota dealership can diagnose it. I've bought 10 toyotas from them over the years. They should be willing to accommodate me if thy can.

lights went out after a few hours of sitting. checked under hood fuse box. wasn't seated completely. must have been some moisture in it that finally dried out. Heavy rain today.

Easy fix! Good to know for future trouble-shooting.

I, too, have had problems with the VSC lights and check engine light. I tried the jumper fix and that didn't work but after disconnecting the battery cable for 10 minutes and reconnecting, the problems are gone....thank God for easy fixes!
