VSC problem
This morning I parked my car at my office parking. Everything was normal. This afternoon, when I start driving home, I found this on my dashboard. What is that? Why all those light are lighted up? Does anyone know if this is the fuse or something wrong with system?
On the way home I stopped at HomeDepot. When I started the car again, everything was normal, but after I start driving, the lights come on again. I stopped, switched the vehicle off then on - no lights, start driving - lights on.

There are several faults that can cause those lights to come on. More than likely, it's a sensor problem. Get the codes pulled from your truck, then post them up here. It'll make it easier for us to help you.

Sensor? Which one?
How to get codes out? I don't have a code tester? Which one should I use?
I've done alignment recently. Can it cause this? Are there any sensors in front suspension? I thought VCS works using ABS sensors.
By the way, I've checked, all my traction control gone down.

Is this problem on your 2005 4Runner from your signature? If so, I'd bring it to the dealership under warranty. It is still under warranty isn't it?
As far as code readers, you can either buy one or get the code read at a shop somewhere. Call around... some places pull codes for free.

I don't recall for sure, but if your VSC/A-TRAC dash lights remain on, I believe its indicative of an ABS (Anti-Lock Brake System) problem. The VSC/A-Trac functions are essentially ABS. I believe your manual has some info on it.
As far as code readers, check with several local auto parts stores. Many usually lend out CEL code readers for no charge.

The alignment place could have damaged one of the wheel sensors if they were beating on something. I would take it to the dealer and take advantage of the warranty.

One of your sensors went bad. Not sure which one but it could be the ABS sensor, throttle body sensor or something else. Easy fix at the stealer all under warranty as they'll just pull the code and find out what part needs replacing.
Good luck

I just had the same thing with my Sequoia. It needed more brake fluid even though it was st the full line. The dealer filled it up past the full line & problem is gone. There is information about it on Tundra solutions - common problem.

You may have an actual problem - but I would try to add brake fluid first, you may avoid the diagnostice charges this way

Ok, the problem is solved.
Directions: Park the vehicle in the garage, open the hood and disconnect both polls of the battery for at least 10 hours.
I did it for this night. On the way to the work this morning, the lights didn’t come on. Looks like I did it.
