The indicator light is telling you the vehicle stability control is off. Either the switch by the gear shifter is off, or there is a problem with the system.

SOURCE: 2003 ES 300 VSC TRAC OFF & CHECK ENGNE LIGHT ALL

I have a 1999 ES 300 with the same problem. I took it to an independent repair center, (Big O Tires). They ran the codes and it told them it was one of three oxygen sensors in the car. There are two sensors for the engine, (one on either side of the V6 engine), and one for the catalytic converter. The bad part is this sensor is located AFTER the cat. converter, which means it could be the converter, (about $1500.00), or the sensor, (about $250.00). After checking all sensors, it was determined it was PROBABLY the sensor after the converter. I had the sensor replaced and so far the lights have not come back on. Seeing that your car is a 2003 model, I really don't think it could be the converter. If you have been dealing with a reputable repair center, go there. Otherwise go to the dealer and see what they say. If they recommend the converter, push for the sensor. That way you are only out $250.00! Good Luck!!!

SOURCE: TRAC OFF, VSC, and check engine lights are on in my 2004 Lexus ES

Often caused by a loose gas cap or fouled or failed air fuel O2 sensor. Check your gas cap is fully ratcheted, Drive a day or two. If lights don't clear you will need a code reader attached to the car to diagnose.

SOURCE: when starting my lexus GX 470 the vsc off light

The VSC on TRAC off lights will come on when there is an air fuel related issue.
If you have recently filled your tank, unscrew and tighten the gas cap till it clicks. The lights may need to be reset if they stay on after that. They will also be triggered by a fouled O2 sensor ins the engine or exhaust as well as a sticky throttle valve.
If a dealership resets the lights they can attach a code reader under dash to determine the cause in about 5 minutes.

2008 Lexus RX350-I have VSC OFF light flashng, along with both the TRAC light and Check Engine light on. - Why

There may be nothing wrong with the VSC or TRAC system. These lights will come on if there is a malfunction, causing the Check Engine Light to Turn On. The ECM and PCM share information with the other systems. If a fault is detected. It is possible the other systems will not function correctly. You will need to read the codes or have them read by a shop or dealership. Get prices first. This service may cost between $50. to $120. If there is anything else please feel free to write back.

Check enguine light vsctrac light and vsc off light on and transmission shifts funny

Hello, the vsc/trac lights will turn on whenever the check engine light turns on first, this is a fail safe function,vsc and trac are disabled as soon as the check engine light turns on so the check light needs to be diagnosed first, you will need to have the onboard computer scanned for diagnostic codes for the engine control system, these are usually a letter fllowed by some numbers, for example a P0301 code would be an engine misfire on the #1 cylinder. If there is an Autozone store or other autoparts vhain store like advance auto, pep boys etc give them a call and take the truck there, they usually help you get the trouble code numbers at no charge, after you have this information post a follow up with the results and I can help you with a solution.

VSC light came on, why?

Most of the time the VSC light will come on with check engine and trac off light. (picture of veh with squiggle lines behind it) Whatever triggers a Check eng turns the vsc and trac systems off. could be a loose gas cap or something related to emissions system. Most times it will have to be diagnosed. Veh maybe equipped to turn vsc off, there would be a button for it.
