I have the same problem with the CEL, VSC and Traction lights being on. My mechanic says the Vsc and Traction lights are on because of the CEL being on. They did a diagnosis on it earlier this week which showed a cylinder misfiring. The engine was running very rough at the time. I went back this morning to have them narrow it down and replace the appropriate coil/plug. All the lights were on but the car was running smoothly and when they did diagnosis it showed all 6 cylinders were misfiring. The mechanic isn't confident that is really the problem. They did tell me there was a person in there last week that was 3 cylinders misfiring. She went to the Lexus dealership and they replaced her battery and that apparently took care of the problem. Has anyyone on here heard of that happening?

No apologies necessary, it is for comments, questions, and concerns. But I get what he's saying too. Lots of people only post when they have a problem, then get advice to fix and never return. So there's no feedback to support or counter advice. Anyway, back to your problem, sounds to me like symptoms of one or more bad ignition coils. Read the CEL code as advised. It is very common for original coil packs to go bad on these. A newer coil has been updated to fix by replacement. If it's on the firewall side bank, do the plugs too as they are hard to access. Front is easy, right in front of you. When they fail, misfires, which can jump all around. Start with codes, if it's coils, replace.
