    My '13 Tacoma, with 104,000 miles, is displaying three dash warning icons. I'm calling my garage tomorrow (it's closed Sundays). Any ideas what problems I might be looking at?
    The three icons are for: BRAKE, ABS & Slip Indicator (VSC or TRAC)

    Id go and have the codes pulled at autozone if you dont have a code reader. That would help narrow down the source of the issue.

    Check your brake fluid, if that's good you will have to get the codes to proceed.

    OOPS, forgot to mention - I did check the fluid level, and it looks good.

    I've seen bad brake light switches do this.

    Guessing what's wrong without knowing what codes are present is foolish. Taking action (replacing parts) without knowing what codes are present is even more foolish.
