Default vsc/trac off/chk engine all on 2004 es330

Just past 60000 miles and the warning lights went on. I'm new here and need help in how to proceed. What should I do?

Pull the codes so you know where to start.

I think it's obvious you don't have a code reader. Take it to a local Autozone, Advance/O'Reilly auto parts store and they can pull OBD codes. If it's something other then that you'll have to take it to a well equipped shop or to the dealer and pay to get the codes. Without them you won't get far.

Well, if it is anything like our 2003 Sienna van, its a faulty ECU. There was a TSB on it, and it was suppose to be fixed by Toyota, but ours was past the date to get it fixed. So I just had to pull the EFI fuse to reset the codes when it happened. I dont know if it is the same, but I know they use the same motor etc. Just my 2 cents!!!!

Went to garage as I don't have tool to pull codes. Mechanic cleared codes, and we drove car for a couple hundred miles and have not had them reappear. So we are hopeful that it was a false alarm

The mechanic charged you, did not give you the codes, and then cleared them? I'd not go to that mechanic again.

He didn't give you the codes did he? It would've been worth it to pay to have the codes, even if he erased them. OTOH, if nothing happens then all is okay...

He didn't give me the codes but needed to clear them to pass state inspection, or so he said. there was no other issues with inspection so I just paid the regular inspection fee

They will be back. Clearing them usually makes them go away for a couple hundred miles. When the lights come back on, give us the actual codes.
