Hello everyone....I’ve taken care of 1999 rx300 of my wife.....

Did you check the brake fluid level?

Have some one stand behind the vehicle as the brake is applied. Count number of lamps that light up. Each side has 2 bulbs and the high mounted [center] should all light up. If you have recently replaced any bulb, please make sure that proper wattage [not lumens] bulb are used. There is a current measuring sensor which expects certain current to flow and if the current is less, then the system assumes a bulb has failed. First gen expects filament bulbs, so a LED based bulb will surely trigger failure light.
Lets get past the warning lamp problem first before drilling down the ABS path.
