Default Help reading VSC ABS flashing code

Car: 2003 Lexus GS300

Last night I was driving came to a stop and felt my car jerk slightly then my CEL, VSC, and VSC OFF light illuminated. The car drove fine no hesitation or anything.
I do not have an OBD2 reader so I did the paperclip method and the VSC and ABS lights started blinking as it should.
I just need help reading what code(s) the car is throwing via the blinking VSC and ABS lights.
Thank you.

Have a look at this website: https://codes.rennacs.com/

Just put in a code and it tells you the area the problem is in. Would be better to get a scantool though

Look like you got these codes:
VSC - 33, 43, 44
ABS - 21, 31, 32, 41

Thank you for your reply.
I was having trouble finding out how to convert the blinking lights to numbers, which you did and thank for also providing the link as well.

All good mate, hope you fix the problem. It looks like a main power issue like power supply to the ABS ecu maybe.
