Default Help! Problem with sensors.

Quick question for the ls owners.

I just started my car its a 2005 ls430 with no-navi and all of a sudden my dashboard lit up with various msgs.

Trac off is stuck.
The ABS, AFS OFF is flashing and there is a sign that says check systems/Check VSC.

I highly doubt all these systems messed up all of a sudden. Does it need a reset or some kind of maintenance?

What could have caused this? How do I fix it?

Any input is much appreciated. Thx guys.

Just putting it out there, do you suspect the car may have been hit by a lightning?

You can try and reset the battery and see what happens.

Is the car driving normally? It really could be a number of things, or combination of issues. If the battery reset does not do it, stop by a Auto zone or discount auto parts and have them read the codes.

No direct experience, but I've heard people say one bad sensor like an O2 sensor can cause all that. The drivetrain is all tied together and shuts the smart systems off on any error. Get the engine codes read and you probably have a sensor bad or something.
