Turn your key to position next to start and repeat three times in succession and on the fourth turn start the car. Resets instrument lights. It will only come on when your on a bumpy waterfilled potholes and a little muddy driveway. ( only time it came on for me) even in heavy rain on highway or roads with standing water.

    I currently have a Verizon hum, it is a Diagnostics reader that sends information to your phone also roadside assistance among many other things for 10 bucks a month. So now I do everything myself, and it's pretty self-explanatory when it tells you exactly what's wrong and where it is to fix which is nice.

Sounds like water intrusion into one or more Wheel Speed Sensors. You need to have it scanned and see which sensors are dropping out when they get wet. Then replace them or have them replaced.

The first thing to do is try another key. Perhaps your transponder key has failed.
You can identify a 'transponder key'; it has a wide part wher you turn it.

2007 Toyota Avalon XLS. How to bleed the ABS brake system please? Non VSC.

Question edited for clarity.
Question moved to model category.

Best way is to use a pressure bleed system which adds brake fluid under pressure from the caliper and up the the reservoir.

2005 Toyota Avalon with codes p0441,p0455,p0456,p0505 and the vcs abs and traction light on?

You have a few different things coming up as these lights and codes. I'll list the code meaning below.
Did you mean the VSC light? VSC, Traction Control and ABS all refer to your braking system so get it fixed AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!
The '505' code refers to the air flow management system in the air intake manifold. The other codes refer to the EVAP system on the vehicle. This may seem a silly suggestion but check you fuel filler cap isn't loose, missing or the seal on the cap isn't damaged. The EVAP works as an air tight system and if it is leaking that is one of the most common causes, (and its a cheap repair).

P0441 = Evaporative Emission System Incorrect Purge Flow
P0455 = Evaporative Emission System Leak Detected (large leak)
P0456 = Evaporative Emission System Leak Detected (very small leak)
P0505 = Idle Air Control System

My keyless entry on Toyota avalon 2001 stopped funtioning.non of the doors is working with remote. My car is showing check light and VSC/VSC OFF on dash board, the code is 0420. pls help me out

Have the remote checked. Remotes have batteries and will eventually go bad. In the worst case, you may need to buy a new remote and have it programmed.

2003 Toyota Avalon xls model all lights and dials on instrument panel go off and engine stops when I go over bumps. I wait 2 minutes and car starts up again and runs fine until I go over bumps again.

The very first thing I would check would be if the battery cables are clean and tight. After that I'd lean towards a bad ignition switch. Do you have a ton of keys on your keyring? wiggle your key while its on to see if you can recreate the problem.

The VSC, Check engine and, traction control all came on today at the same time for no apparent reason?

Anytime the Check Engine light comes on, you will find that the VSC and TRAC OFF lights come on as well. Supposedly, it's in order to lighten the load on the car's computer when things are going wrong. Find out what the Check Engine code is (for free at your local Autozone?), and get that taken care of before worrying too much about the VSC or TRAC OFF lights.

03 toyota 4 runner vsc trac and trac off light are on, what´s the problem with?

VSC stands for vehicle stability control and trac is traction control they are incorporated into the ABS system all receive signals from the wheel sensors you must use a digital ohms meter to find the one reading different and replace it in some cases you might find bad connections at the plugs.in any case your brakes will work fine you just wont have ABS braking or traction control
