Im new to the forum. But I have 2000 GS400, and for the past 2 weeks, my VSC, VSC OFF and ABS lights come on randomly while Im driving or when I make a turn. What does this mean, and how can I fix the problem. Please help me out guys, thanks!

Sounds like a speed sensor.

Have you checked your Brake Fluid? It theses lights and maybe the brake light come on during turns the fluid may be low.

The Speed Sensor seems to be the most common cause for people on CL. More likely if you serviced your front brakes or front suspension recently. Pull the wheels and check for damage.

these cars just seem like randomly setting of lights. my vsc lights went on for two days straight and then just went away like nothing happened. a week prior to that the check engine light stayed on for a lean bank. reset it a couple times and kept coming on. so i ordered a brand new maf since the slightly 1+ old (and out of warranty) maf already in the car was slightly out of spec resistance wise. Now of course when the maf gets here today , the car has already stopped throwing the code. Now, it's throwing a evap system code and I'm not buying $500 charcoal cannister! Guess I'm trying to say that as they age, they get very sensitive.

have you tried searching? Probably a good 500 threads on this...

Thanks people. I checked the brake fluid, which is fine. And my "check engine light" never came on..... However I did notice that my RPM doesn't go past 2000 and that there is noise as if there is a tube loose under the hood. Would that have anything to do with it???

I've been looking through the threads to see what people are saying, could be a speed censor, but i'll continue to search....I appreciate the feedback very much! Keep you posted!

Maybe a vacuum leak? Look around for unplugged hoses or cracks/holes in the plastic air ducting.

Have you removed the wheels to check the sensors yet?
