Default Check VSC after pothole

2007 Lexus IS 350

I hit a pothole at approximate 25 mph. Gave the car a good shake and then a moment later the following 4 lights lit up the dash:
CHECK VSC, ABS, Trac Off, VSC OFF, along with the typical notification triangle.
However there is NO check engine light (cel).

I have checked the other related posts but have not come to an answer. I tried tightening gas cap, petrol cap, and checking if the (ABS)wheel sensor is connected. All seemed to be in place. Heck, I even tried disconnecting the battery.

Any suggestions I should try? Or should I bite the bullet and go to a dealer?
Or would a tire shop or some mechanic be enough for this issue?

Drive for couple of days, it may go away by itself.

Only way to figure out is run OBD scanner. Autozone does it for free or get a 10 bucks one from ebay.

Invest in an OBD Scanner.

Otherwise go to an auto store and get stored data and then ask to erase them.

Then see if they come back.

Good luck.

You're going to need to check the codes to have any idea what is wrong. The lights don't really tell you much.

Try disconnecting your battery for a minute and reconnect. It might flush the warnings off.

Good luck.

If you are in OC, hit me up so I could scan the code for you.

I ended up going to autozone to scan the code. Scanner showed nothing wrong...
Came back and turned the car on and all the lights were gone... Car logic...

Thanks for the advice guys!
