I'm at a loss
 
While driving my 98 gs400 today my brake warning light, VCS warning light, ABS warning light and the VCS off warning light came on all at the same time as well as a high pitched alarm sound came on and did not turn off. Can anybody tell me what might be the problem. :egads:

gotta be a ghost........ reset your battery

Check to see if your battery is connect properly..I had the same issue before where I'd stop at a light then all the dash light came on. Pop the hood and find out that the Fr*** battery cable came lose..

Get the CEL codes checked out. When there is a major malfunction with the ABS it will make that sound. Sounds to me like your ABS actuator went bad...notorious on the GS4

for the help
 
turns out the correct answer is that after checking the codes 3 times by the mechanic the abs system went bad. lucky me, they want a couple thousand for the part. any suggestions. thanks for all the replys.

yea the abs actuators are expensive. see if you can find a used one that's in decent shape. If not you might have to just bite the bullet and buy it.

That happen to me like 3 times when i first had my car. I switch a new fuse out and it went back to normal. check to see if your break light works as well? cause mine didn't.
