You need a code scanner to see what the exact error is, you can take your car to AutoZone to get it scanned for free also, or just buy a cheapie from Amazon.

Also, try to listen closely to the car, are you getting misfires or is the acceleration sluggish?

If your CEL is flashing do not drive the car, it indicates that there is something seriously wrong.

Get your battery checked. Low voltage from a dying battery can trigger lots of random warning lights. The same shop can check your battery.

The ES likes throwing those up when there's a voltage issue (Battery disconnected) or low voltage like clutchless says. I've found goes away after driving for a bit, but you should scan the car

Default Vsc issue and now melting

My son owns a 2009 es 350. We recently replaced the blue and black fusible links. All was fine for about a month until yesterday. Vsc came on and car dash lights dimmed and vehicle started losing power. Checked under hood and found the post and wire running off the black fusible link had melted. Any advice??? please help
