Default Help vsc, abs light on

Got a 98 gs300, ive search and did all the things that everyone posted and yet it is still on! The abs, vsc lights stay on, I have tried doing the reset and yet nothing. Braking on the car don't feel normal anymore, u have to press pretty deep so it will brake. I have bleed the brake several times and it would get pressure/hard when I bleed but after close all valve and test drive to back to the same. So my thought is the master cylinder out? There always squeaking noise when you press and release the brake as well. With all these lights on it seem to be draining the battery and the car can barely start right up. Another thing I think it may be is the abs sensor/line broken?? Have replace the lower ball joint awhile back

First thing I would do is check for the codes causing the lights to come on!

Your brake master cylinder could be bad, i had bad brake pressure when mine failed, brake pedal to the floor symptoms.

Forgot to add this, the lights came on after a brake job. Since I tried resetting it and it does not work, does that mean I will have to take it to the dealer to reset it?

Same thing I was told, but then kept searching and reading some say the lights come on if you do a brake/pad job and not remove the sensor before doing it in which I didn't before hand so now those lights are on
