Why is my VSC light on on my Lexus RX 300?
Just had some work done on my 2003 RX300. air filter, new water pump, timing belft front end alingment, rear breaks, turn rotor, caliper service rear dffy fluid, cabin air filter.

“VSC Off” and “VSC TRAC” lights will often come on when an error code triggers the Check Engine light. It doesn’t necessarily mean there is an issue with those systems. If they all showed up at the same time, it’s likely that diagnosing the cause for the Check Engine light will fix them all.

What was the ABS code on my Lexus RX 300?
In response I was told to contact a dealer. Over the weekend I got out the shop manuals and discovered that the ABS was indicating codes 31,32, and 33, apparently a temporary or intermittent failure of both front wheel speed sensors and one rear wheel sensor, and VSC was indicating a code of 43, ABS control failure.

Where are the TRAC off lights on a Lexus RX 300?
The hose is black, comes straight out of the cover an inch or so, then hangs down at a right angle to connect to a stiff tube sticking up from below. The end of the stiff tube is about ten inches below and is tough to spot, but you may see the metallic glint of the connecting portion of the tube.
