I had a wheel bearing replaced in my 2007 toyota highlander and as soon as it was fixed all the warning lights came on in the car, including the vsc light, abs light, brake light, and several others.

The brake actuator for the abs system failed and needed to be replaced. This was and is a known potential problem by the toyota company as a result of many toyota owners replacing their vehicle actuators due to failure but no recalls have been activated and available for my vehicle as of this current date.
