Hello, these lights being on indicate a fault that affect both vehicle stability control and engine performance. In some cases, it could be a transmission related concern, but not in all.
However this can be very helpful
Make sure you are completely stopped. Put the car in park if you can. Press and hold the VSC button for a few seconds. The TRAC OFF and VSC OFF indicator light will come on. Both systems are now off. Press the VSC button again. Both lights will turn off and the systems are now reengaged.

We are assuming that you are talking about the VSC (Vehicle Stability Control) and VSC OFF message.
Stability control systems are offered under the following names: On Lexus is called as Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management (VDIM) with Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) and Traction Control (TRAC) systems.
It can mean a lot of things. Usually, it is an engine fault that leads
to VSC cancellation as well. Scanning for actual fault codes would be a
good start.
Hope this helps; also keep in mind that your feedback is important and I'll appreciate

Did you check the brake fluid level? A low level might cause the light to come on. If it's 1997 or newer, and then likely OBD2, take it to a local autozone or similar parts store. Most should scan and clear codes for free, hoping you will then buy parts from them.
Your light is on because the computer has detected a problem with the car. Take it to Autozone and they will scan it for free and they will let you know what is wrong.
When you say malfunction indicator , do you mean `check engine`` light. These paired lights can indicate a change in engine air flow and fuel mixture. Try a fresh tank of premium fuel, but first a unscrew and re-screw the gas cap until it ratchets into place. The lights can be triggered by a loose gas cap, a fouled O2 sensor, and several other emission related problems including sticking throttle body components, etc. This can sometimes be sprayed with carb cleaner inserted in the snorkle area of the air intake where teh snorkle meets the metal intake.
