Default Vsc trac, vsc off, check engine lights

4 lights, VSC TRAC, VSC OFF, and anti-skid check engine light popped up when I started the truck. Turned off and unscrewed then screwed fuel cap. When I restarted at first no lights but after 5-10 seconds all 4 lights were back on. Turned it off, went inside came back out 10mins later, truck wouldn't start.

Toyota replaced the alternator almost 3 years ago so if its the alternator I would think Toyota would cover it.
My mechanic is coming out to take a look at it, I have my fingers crossed its nothing major like the catalytic converter.
My rear air shocks are shot and need to address that too.

Any input would be greatly appreciated.


4 lights

Both VSC lights and the skid are going to turn on every time there's an issue that the computer found it. You got the CEL so is engine related. first thing will be pulling the code with and scanner and go from there.

Hook up an OBD2 scanner and pull the code, nothing to know until then.

Default VSC lights on after pulling tems fuse from panel

Hello there.
This is my first time on here.I will like to start by thanking everyone, past and present members for all of your help thru the different questions. It definitely helps and makes a huge difference when fixing the car for a new owner like myself.
I recently bought an '05 GX 470. Yesterday I completed the air suspension delete. Everything went smoothly until I pulled the fuse from the panel. When I turned the engine on, the VSC lights came and stayed on, no check engine light.
if I place the fuse back in, they go away. I have been looking but i haven't seen any other conversation about this issue. Has anyone ever encounter this? Does anyone have any clue why those lights are coming on when the TEMS fuse is disconnected?
I'll appreciate any information.
Many thanks in advance.

First you are posting a different topic in someone elses thread. This is not a proper way to post questions. Start a new thread with your topic. You will get appropriate responses. And you need to remove the fuse and the relay. But its best to do it before you start your engine after making the change. There are lots of topics on this.
