ABS and VSC flashing when parked or stopped

Asked by Kayla Jan 10, 2018 at 01:33 PM about the 2003 Toyota Highlander Base V6

Question type: General

About a month ago while driving my engine light
and vsc light just randomly came on at the same
time . Now when I’m parked or stopped by vsc light
goes off for a second then comes back on and
flashes along with the ABS light . Now when I start
driving the VSC stays on solid and the ABS goes
away completely . Any idea what this could be ?

OMG - thanks to all but my flashing VSC/Traction Control/ABS lights were not gas cap but indeed a disconnected small vacuum tube to airbox that had split. For now repaired end with electrical tape, reconnected, disconnected negative terminal at battery to clear codes and we are FIXED!!! Take a peek under the hood at the airbox and ensure all hoses are connected, worked for me.

I have a 2012 Highlander Hybrid with Navigation and rear DVD entertainment. All factory installed. My question is the factory setting of the volume of the rear DVD player. When I play a DVD , listening through the speaker systems, not the headphones. I need to raise the volume to a 32 33 setting to hear the DVD. Normally when I listed to the radio I use a sertting of 16 - 18 volume setting. Why do I need to raise the volume so much to hear a DVD. It is worse when I am traveling on the expressway. Sometimes I need to raise the volume to 45 - 50. I am not changing the balance of the speakers between front and back 2 Answers
