Default HELP recently bought a gs300 and got a problem already

bought a 2001 gs300..he seller told me he installed coilovers on the car so the ABS VSC lights went off and you can hear a constant beeping noise like a hard drive coming form the dash....i read on the forum its the vsc warning chime but i tried resetting the ECU but nothing happened...anyone know what the problem might be?

take out the ABS sensors from the front wheel hubs and clean them off hard core. Brake cleaner or something like that. See if that helps.

Check how and where the ABS/brake lines are secured. Zip ties are a NO-NO. Should come with a bracket.

If secured too high onto the coilovers...or there's not enough slack....esp when you turn your wheels max left or max right...VSC/ABS light will come ON.

Good luck.
