Why have you not had the vehicle at a shop, so they
can check the systems for codes & at least find a problem?

You clear dash lights,you clear ALL the data needed to work on
any vehicle, until the lights come back,codes return or emission
monitors run

SOURCE: 2000 Lexus RX 300 - VSC Light comes on and brake pulsation

you most likely have an "air gap" or "tone ring" problem with one of your sensors or tone rings. i would suggest letting a technician diagnos which problem it is, as it is a diagnosis that requires some experience.

SOURCE: i have the same problem like everyone lexus rx 300

As the car ages the 02 sensors can clog and need replacing, however check your gas cap first to be sure it is tightly secured.
If they are fouled, the 02 sensors will trigger the check engine lights and vsc lights to come on. An exhaust leak can also give a misread. The problem code will identify the suspect are and depending on location this can be as easy a fix as changing a spark plug, but you will have to find someone with a code reading device to determine what area is the problem.
On occaison you will also have a sticking throttle body mechanism at the back end of the large rubber sorkle under the hood. This area has a butter fly valve like an old carb which can stick and cause idling issues as well. You can sremove the snorkel and look inside to see the mechanism, then spray clean with carb cleaner while idling.
Changing one 02 sensor may cause the VSC light to come on again as the system readjust your fuel ratio mixture. Be patient and pay attention to the readings before changing all the sensors randomly.

The VSC and Check engine light turn on for lexus 1999 the cood is p0500

Toyotas and Lexus cars have some unique feaures. If your fuel cap is loose or the O2 sensors on the exhaust are faulty this results in an emission problem and the engine computer unit (ECU) engages the check engine light and disables the VSC (the VSC light comes on to warn you that it has been disabled). However you have p0500 code which says the car has no speed sensor signal. The seed sensor is located on the side of the final drive from the transmission and its job is to measure the speed of rotation of the output shaft. The ECU will compare the signals from this shaft along with the speed sensors in the wheel hubs. If there is a difference between these signals the VSC is engaged to apply braking effort to which ever wheel is slipping (running faster) than the other or that the transmission speed sensor would warrant.
So you either have an emission fault has fed back to the VSC and speed sensor missing (p0500) condition, or you have a faulty sped sensor which has tripped the VSC light and in turn the CEL.
Check your fuel filler cap is on tight, turn radio off and disconnect the negative lead to the battery for 5 minutes (this should clear the ECU memory of the code error). If p0500 error and CEL and VSC lights come back on then check the electrical connection to the speed sensor. Ensure it is clean and making a good contact, check the wiring for continuity. If everything else looks good consider changing the speed sensor.

I have a Lexus GS 300 and had the lower driver side ball joint replaced. After the VSC,ABS and VSC Off lights have remained on.

check the connection to the wheel speed sensor, or that the sensor has not been pumped out of line, the trac and antilock all work off the same sensor

What does VSC stand for when light comes on?

If you are talking about the "VSC Off" light, it means that the button to disengage your cars Vehicle Stability/Skid Control" system is engaged. Press the VSC button, the system should reengage, and the light should turn off.
If you are talking about the other VSC light, it means that your car has been forced to take evasive action to avoid a dangerous situation. For example, if you are driving on an icy road, and take a turn too tight, the vehicle may be forced to apply pressure to one of the brakes to prevent the car from loosing control. In this situation the VSC indicator light will light up to alert you that the action was taken, and remind you to possibly slow down.

vsc shuts down any time check engine light comes on. repair engine light problem, reset computer monitoring system and vsc light will go off. must scan computer to pull codes for check engine light and go from there.

Lexus 2003 RXx300 check engine light & VSC light on..told it was

Yes it could be other problem but the 02 sensor is not the same as the VSC vechilce speed control. You may have two problems. The 02 Sensor should not be more than $75.00 and a half our labor at most. If it is something else it would or could get very expensive. The reason the light comeson is it's has a emmison problem.
