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!!!

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.

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.
