Default 08 LS 460 Dash Light Help

Hello again and thanks in advance for the help. A little over a week ago I had my battery go low and set off several brake warning lights on the dashboard. I have a very trusted mechanic and had him look it over. There were no issues whatsoever with the braking system and the lights simply occurred due to a drop in battery voltage. My question would be how to clear the lights. I have seen various people use something called a techstream and was wondering if this would be viable in my situation. If so could someone point me in the direction of the most updated version of the tech stream as well as a possible tutorial. Below for reference is a picture of the lights that were set off on the dashboard(circled). The dash isn't mine just one that I found but the four lights in question are the same THANKS!

Did you replace the battery? I would think that these lights would go out when the situation was corrected.

I did replace the battery and checked that it had the proper voltage however after some research I discovered the lights don't correct themselves once the battery is fixed which is why I was wondering if the tech stream would fix the issue

Hmmm....I wonder if you do the reset as follows:

while holding down the reset button (for the odo) and then pressing the "start/stop" button. That often works for the VSC errors.

Let us know. If that fails, then I'd try an OBD scanner to see if you can reset. Techstream, definately will, but it's a costlier option. FWIW, your Toyota dealer can do this and will be cheaper (and perhaps free if you have a good relationship with them as I do).

Set the car to Trip A. Turn off car. While holding reset, press the start button 3 times (i think) Keep your foot off the brake

Carista app helped me clear these lights just the other day. I didn't realize there were these steps to clear them as well. Good to know...

Few years back I had a problem with my battery and it threw brake, ABS warning lights on my dash too. Scanned and got these codes C1203, C1336, C1345 and C1392.
I took my 08 LS to a local shop and they re-calibrated or re-learned the ABS system with their computer.

Thank you. Same issues above. The suggestion below worked for me to correct VSC Systems errors when I changed my battery. Thank you. [ RESET BUTTON ODO + START/STOP ENGIN]
