I"m having the same problem.

I thought the whinning noise was just engine noise from my system, but its unusually loud.

Then I get the VSC/ABS/VSC lights that come on after a couple minutes of running the car and they stay on. When I turn off my car and restart, the lights go off, but they come back on eventually. The whining noise is constant.

I'm having exactly the same issue with my 1999 GS300 (135,000 miles). If three of us are having the same problem, there must be a common answer. Please help!
