Default 2008 Lexus IS250 no power

Hi guys,
just bought a 2008 IS250 at an auto auction with 127k miles car drives very smooth. Check engine was on with the tracción control light. Following day I took the car to work, and at night time came back home. 2 days later I try to turn on the car to warm it up and it does not turn on. When I press the brake the green light on the button does not come on. Only thing it does when I press the button is turn on the dash. I tried jumpstarting it, I put the battery from my rav4 which is also 700CCA and no luck.

Does any one have any ideas what could be going on with this thing!? I put the key fob next to the start button also no luck

I would think it would still start with those errors.
There are two sensors atop each valve cover. They are black and retained by a single bolt. Inspect the wiring harness for rodent damage. But no clue why this would happen out of the blue. Well unless rodent induced.

Does the engine spin over but not run, or does it not crank over at all?
