2001 ls430 abs,vsc,& brake light on, can't bleed brakes
Hi,
My 2001 ls430 ultra with 90k has the abs,vsc,& brake lights on. The shifter gets stuck in park and I have to manually release it. Some times the lights clear for a while, but they come back on after 10 or 15 min. When I went to bleed the brakes at the wheels and the abs block located on the drivers fire wall, no fluid came out. At this time the brakes where being pumped by a person. I think there is an electronic component that is creating this problem. I have never been faced with a situation where the brakes wouldn't bleed. A mechanic who had worked for lexus thinks from a code he got off the car that the yaw sensor is the problem. Claims that they had a problem in these cars. Any ideas or feed back would be appreciated.

unfortunately I did not write it down, mistake on my part. The mechanic kept it. It may have been p1220, but I am not sure. I will have to double check with him
