This could be as simple as some debris on the speed sensor so you'll need to inspect them. Or it could be a lot more complicated and that means a scan tool for error codes. Do you have access to scan tool for error codes?

I attached an exploded brake system diagram, which includes the speed sensors, in another thread this morning. Pages 5 and 6 of that PDF have the speed senors. Here's the thread https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sc-...-question.html

I put a big brake system on about 500 miles ago and nothing happened. If it is a speedo sensor, what am i looking at?
You guys rule

Well that's going to be determined by any error codes that come up...e.g. damage sensor(s), dirty sensor, a bad cable or connector or any number of things.... there are about 20 error codes associated with VSC/ABS systems.
