Angry Will not shift into gear, mulfunction light on, VSC and WSC OFF warning lights on

Hi Guys,
I have 1998 GS400. I didn't have any problems before, but today I have one.
When I tried to warm up the engine and go I noticed, that after few minutes of warming up, the mulfuncion indicator," WSC" warning light and "WSC OFF" indicator light are on. On the top of it, I can't **** from "P" into the gear.
If you have any suggestions I would greatly appreciate for your help
Thanks Serg.

from my understanding the VSC and WSC lights have to do with a wheel sensor that is not functioning anymore. As far as the not being able to shift out of park goes try taking your key and pushing it into the hole to the left of the shifter on the console and push it in all the way. That should get it out of park.

You also may want to have the post moved to the Maintainence section as VVT-i is a master Lexus tech and he may have seen the problem before....

Thank you guys for your response.
I reset the computer by disconecting positive wire from the battery. And those light went off. As for the shifter, I used override button. I didn't have those problems so far.
