Default Airbag light/Parking brake light

Hi guys..question. My airbag light flashes on and off every so often and my parking brake light stays on for awhile for no reason now. Is there anyway i can reset the lights? It's not that big of a deal but I am thinking of selling the ES300 so I want it to be in top notch shape!

Airbag flashing on/off usually means your airbag sensor is getting faulty. You may want to bring the car to the dealer to get it fixed. Tell them it's a safety item that should be addressed immediately, and they might even fit it for you for free

The brake light means your brake fluid is getting low. The brake fluid system in the ES is often known to be very touchy. When was the last time you changed the brake fluid? If it's been a long while, get the brake system bled and refill with new fluid. Make sure the fluid does not touch the paint on your car as it will eat up the paint.

I haven't changed the fluid in awhile. I thought it was just a faulty light when it kept coming on, I had no idea it actually meant something. Thank you VERY much! I would have never known!
