    Yesterday I felt a sudden "catching" in my rear brakes like ABS engaged. Then bam my dashboard lit up with the Red Triangle + Orange Exclamation +VSC + Engine Light. I was able to limp along and park it. Car has 150,000 and have owned it 5 years with no problems ever. BTW, had an oil change 5 days ago and rotated tires at Goodyear. They said my brakes are at 3ml. Has anyone else had a similar situation?

    Unfortunately no. I've got an appt with a mechanic on Monday. But wanted to educate myself first on what could be going on and what it will take to fix it.

    This link might help : Toyota Dashboard Lights & Symbols Guide

    Grab a free basic OBD2 scan at a local auto parts chain, be sure to try each location (even within the same chain) as they may offer a different scanner, and one may be more hybrid compatible than another. Please post the results in this thread for additional guidance.

    If you don't have a set of manuals that you can reference, here is a link : Toyota Warranty & Toyota Manuals | Toyota Owners

    Check the 12 volt battery. Weak battery can cause strange symptoms.
