Check all your fuses. Sounds like one is blown.

this is the brake wear sensor indicator light: you need to have the brakes checked asap

http://alldatadiy.com/ this site will have all the info you need. Go here and buy a 1 year subcription for you car. If this is your first timing belt replacement then read through everything carefully before attempting to do this yourself. If you don't think you can handle it get it to a shop. If the cam/crank timing is not set up right you could bend valves and need expensive repairs!! Be careful. Happy New Year!!

Next step is to get under the car and check the connections at the starter.. Do you have a 12 volt test light. If so probe the solenoid wire while someone hold the key in cranking position. If you have voltage there the starter died and needs to be replaced.  Always use jack stands while working under a jacked up car!!!

You have developed a drain on the system that could be a light on some where like trunk, glovebox or center counsole. It could be deeper than that but you could check those thing out.

Could be a bad catalytic converter, check under the car and see if they turn a hot red color.

with crank pulley white mark on 0 remove both cam pulley covers and verify yellow painted notches are exactly on the T mark cast in the fwd cam bearing housings..IF u find that it ISNT 'in time' then remove tensioner located near crank pulley and very carefully manipulate the L and R cam sprokets to allow belt to removed from cam sprockets only... DoNOT rotate engine without T belt installed .Do NOT turn engine backwards.. ever.. be advised that should the cam timing be off by more than 3 teeth either way serious engine damage will result ..this series of engines utilizes variable intake camshaft adjustment .. This job is not for the american small block specialist of yesteryear.. even an experienced asian tech is gonna have a difficult time with this lexus .. its not quite the same engine the Tundra uses...Lexus only mods befuddle reg toyota techs

Seems like a timing sensor maybe out. Get a computer diagnosis done on the car from a local garage and check that all electronics are functioning properly. That might identify the problem. Also maybe try some of the petrol additives which clear the petrol lines out. Simply add a bottle when u next fill up. Hope that helps.

Yes, that may cause it the misalignment of the timing belt, you can try to check it and put everything back in..

Good luck.........

front lower ball joints are possible cause, they wear out and start all kinds of noises, uppers are also suspect, either the ball joint or the control arm bushings. Did you put the anti squeek shims behind the pads?

Check the ignition switch, there is battery voltage to the fuel pump and ignition, because the engine starts with switch in the start position, now check the above with the switch in the run position, If there is no voltage replace the switch.

traction control is for control of the traction of the drive tires Tale it to a professional brake shop for a proper diagnosis grabbing brakes is more likely no brake pads and / or damaged rotor discs

sensor 1 is the sensor located before the catalytic converter and bank 1 is the side of the engine with cylinder #1 so if i'm correct and you have a V-6 that would be the rear of the engine by firewall and the sensor would be in the exhaust manifold
