Vehicle Skid Control System Failure Warning - Lexus RX300 2001 Owner's Manual

You may hear a sound in the engine compartment for a few
seconds when the engine is started or just after the vehicle is
started. This means that the vehicle skid control is in the
self–check mode and does not indicate a malfunction.
When you turn the ignition switch on, this system always turns
on.

Vehicle skid control system failure warning

(Two–wheel drive models)
These lights warn that there is a problem somewhere in the
vehicle skid control system, traction control system or brake
assist system.
The lights will come on when the ignition key is turned to "ON",
and will go off after a few seconds.
If the "VSC" warning light and "TRAC OFF" indicator/warning
light come on, the vehicle skid control system, traction control
system and brake assist system do not work. However, as
conventional braking operates when applied, there is no
problem to continue your driving.
