Unhappy ABS, Brake, Traction Light, Check VSC and Caution Light all come on.

Hey Everyone,

All of the lights listed above are turning on randomly. I just got this car and am very concerned. Any suggestions?

Depends do you have an is250? If so might be the carbon issue. Does the feel like it gonna shut off? But best thing to do is check the codes it's throwing.

Theres no check engine light from what he posted, so I don't think its that. But I do agree with checking codes.

Mine used to do that randomly. The dealer told me that if a cel code pope up it will shut off all kinds of stuff and your dash will light up like a xmas tree. I just reset the car by taking off the battery or reset it with a code scanner.

try seeing if you can go to a local auto store and get them to pull the codes. so we can know what's going on. but if check engine or cel code comes on, all the other lights will pop on aswell.

Thank you all for the insight! I was informed over the weekend that my fiance filled it with regular gas. After adding seafoam and getting her a full tank of premium the issue stopped. Hope you all had a great weekend.
