Default LS-460 AWD odd AFS-ABS issue-- Need Help



Hi guys,

I have a 2010 LS 460 AWD. Well maintained. I'm having an odd issue. Around 110,000 miles. Oil changed less than 800 miles ago.

So a little background, I live in chicago so recently we were hit by the polar vortex and temperatures really went down the drain. My car is garage kept however i did drive it once maybe twice during the time. So recently, I ;started seeing an odd light flashing on my dash:

"Check AFS" Have your vehicle checked by a dealer. Check ABS" Have your vehicle checked by a dealer. (Pics attached) However, the message disappears after driving a few miles only to come back sometime later.

Otherwise, brakes seem fine, no jurks, or performance is affected.

The only thing that happened around 2 months i left a light on, so had to jump the car, but no other issues.

Before i go to the dealer, can someone help? What could cause this? I hope it's nothing back and can be "reset" or have a small fix? Is it weather related, there is a lot of salt on the streets or something else?

Thanks.
