Default is250 issue

Hello so recently i was driving and all of a sudden the following lights came one
ABS
AFS OFF
TRACTION CONTROL
And a red triangle that says check VSC

i havent done any repairs and nothing has changed in my driving before or after this happened. I also noticed that if i let the car cool down and then turn it on and drive it the lights will go off but they turn back on if im like at a drive thru or in traffic. has anybody else every issues like this? i really dont want to have to pay for a diagnostic if i can fix this on my own.

Try scanning your car with an OBDII device like this:

I was just doing a little research on 06is250 because im looking to pick one up. Anyways i just got done reading that this seems to happen often with your mileage. You can find thread fairly easy.

The thread suggest doing a transmission flush and if problems continue, change transmission solenoids.

Hope you can find thread.

Check that none of the ABS sensor lines were cut or disconnected from the hubs.

When ever any/all of these lights come on, ALWAYS go to the nearest autostore and read the codes. Easier and less of a headache trying to figure it out. Lexus has a light or a code for everything, even Low washer fluid lol

But what if the check engine light didn't come on can I still read the codes?

I had all those lights come on, it was a CO2 sensor, they were able to read the code without a check engine light.
