First thing to do is to inspect to see if the plugs are plug in snuggly. Then check to see if the sensor itself is secured down to the knuckle securely. After that, make sure the sensor is clean where it reads off of the splines in the knuckle. Lastly, after all of these steps don't work, remove the lower front splash guard and the liners and remove the plug where the sensors is plug in and take a multimeter and measure the resistance. It should be something like 1.6-1.7 Ohms I believe.

Try checking your MAF that might be the problem.

MAF = Mass Air Flow...

How would that have to do with..
VSC = Vehicle Skid Control
&
ABS = Anti-locking Braking System?



I don't know what the problem might be...but did you try doing a search?
I am pretty sure I have come across a few threads that discuss the same problem you are having...

Just try what I have recomend above first. And if that doesn't work, I'll send you the instruction to recalibrate your yaw rate sensor etc..

Check your break fluid level, might be low casueing the abs light to come on.

have you tried reading the manual? I remember the page where it tells you which combination means what. Is the CEL on?

Ms lexo

There are few threads that tell you. I have a GS430 "01" and my VSC VSC Off came on as well. I changed my MAF and the VSC VSC off turned off. Take a look at one of the threads that say VSC VSC LIGHTS on and it should help.

If your brake pads are getting down, your brake fluid will be low so check that first. If that doesn't fix it, take it to an autoparts store or someone with an error code reader to see what the car is trying to tell you.

Bro -- If it was your batteries...while you are driving..your battery light wud come on..and your lights wud dim out...if your stereo was ont hat wud flicker on off...

and as soon as u increased throttle...your battery shud have gottena boost and all that wuda gone away...

I dont think u mentioned ur battey ligght coming on so I dont think it is that...
