ABS, Handbrake and Traction light on permenantly
Hey guys,
New to the forum, but I have already seen some great tips around.
I own a 2007 Lexus RX 350 and it has run around 195,000 km till now.
It has been showing the ABS, Handbrake, Traction and sometimes the VSC symbol as well for a while. It comes and goes and sometimes its there daily and sometimes it never shows up.
I even had to take it to the dealer for service as an idiot friend of mine(who runs a garage btw) cut the ABS line to check for an error. In the end I paid up about 20,000 AED(Around 5,500 USD) in total to repair it then. This was in 2014.
The symbols did not pop up for a while and then it did again recently adding along the handbrake symbol as well.
I had it checked at another garage(a much more professional one- the owner himself owns a lexus LX- never taking my cars back to the other garage) but they were unable to find an error code.
I am not sure it is a serious issue, but it will certainly help me if I am able to know what the issue is and find a permanent solution to the problem.
Sorry the post is so long guys, but do help me!

Could be the brake light switch under the dash; see this thread to see if symptoms line up with your situation:
