Default ABS and Traction control warning

Hello friends have a "14 GS350 crossed 70k miles and now getting ABS and Traction control lights. It's my wife's car so I'm not exactly sure what might have happened to the suspension and she doesn't remember hitting anything. Any ideas guys what am I looking at. Thanks

Likely just a sensor that needs to be replaced.

If you want to find out yourself, buy an OBD2 scanner.
If you want an expert to tell you...you know what to do!

Zero point calibration for the c1203 and p0305 is a misfire cyl 5. Could be funny battery, spark plug, ignition coil etc.

This happened to my RX. My abs and Trac lights all came on. I made an appointment to a local shop in 3 days time. During that time, I noticed my battery was weak, so I went to Costco and replaced my battery. After the battery change, these lights never came back on again.

How old is your battery? If it's 4 years old, you might as well change that and see if it helps.

OP didn't mention anything about his battery but that could be the culprit as I had the same experience as you...ABS and Traction lights came on after I had to jump my old battery. Once the new battery was in, those warning lights came on and then went away after driving for 2min.

Ok I have a new battery, new alternator. Because first Battery quit. Then new battery Ed alternator and it was bad, so replaced alternator. Lights were not on before that. Now lights on. I’m wondering if it’s the new battery or alternator that is bad? But why would Cylinder 5 all of a sudden be bad?

How do you know they're not historical? Clear the codes and then see what pops up.
