Krafty930 with brake, VSC off and ABS lights on. You share a common problem with many Toyota owners. My 2003 Sequioa has the same issue. There is no solution. Dealers will replace the air sensors and then the computer all for $2,500 - $3,500. This will not solve the issue. The internet has thousands of complaints re this problem, but Toyota has disowned the issue and declined resolution, even for vehicles under warranty. The lights drive me crazy and I still don't know if there is a functional problem, a wiring problem or a computer problem with the VSC system. To date, I have learned of no reports relating this problem to vehicular deaths, so I really am not holding my breath waiting for Toyota to provide a solution. Sorry that you share this problem, but perhaps my response will help to stop you from "spinning your wheels" too much trying to resolve this issue.

I have had the same problem with my 2006 Toyota RAV4, but my VSC & ABS lights come on when it is damp outside...then they will go off once I usually turn the truck off & on again.

Check brake fluid level, if it's not full it may cause the lights. Also check to see if you have any brakes pads/shoe material left, brake fluid doesnt just disappear for no reason.

These lights went on one time on my 4 runner and come to find out the gas cap was loose. That sends a warning to the sencors and the lights come on. So try that.

Find and press your TRC button this turns the TR-action C-ontrol back on, and should turn off, the V-ariable S-tability C-ontrol light and the A-ntilock B-rake S-ystem light. If it does not rengage have the traction control switch checked

SOURCE: ABS PROBLEM

Look up above your brake pedal and you should see a switch that is connected to it. This switch controls your brakes and in some vehicles, is tied in to the safety system. Change this and see if your van goes into gear ($10 part)

More than likley its your VSC computer (VSC Trac, VSC Off, E brake and ABS brake lights all lit). This problem has been sited on other Sequoias that had the TSB brake caliper/rotor upgrade (recall) and that more than likely the VSC software or computer was not updated to meet the demands of the newly installed brake upgrade.
