Recently three warning lights came up on the dashboard of my Toyota Highlander. I’ve also got three same exact warring messages displayed on the information screen: check Vehicle Stability Control system, check Brake system, and check ABS system. It was also saying “Have your vehicle checked by a dealer” on the bottom of the screen. My car was still driving and braking fine, so I didn’t know exactly what was going on. I definitely wanted to find the source of the problem. From my previous experience, I know that a visit to a dealer would cost me around $100-150. For the same money or less you can buy a scanner tool and try to diagnose the issue yourself. Chances are you might be able to fix some of the car issues yourself if you just do a little research. In my case, for example, all three warning lights were triggered by a bad stop light bulb. In Toyota, Lexus and Scion cars VSC, ABS and brake systems are tied together. For that reason, if any component of these three systems goes bad, all three warning lights are triggered. I was lucky to have just a minor issue with a bad bulb. You may have a completely different problem that requires more serious work, and to determine the source of the issue you will need a diagnostic tool capable of reading those diagnostic trouble codes.
