hey man
The whole procedure should take you about 4 minutes but read it before you try it. Becareful where you connect the paper clip in the first step, or it could burn fuses and then you have to replace them:

just take a paper clip and connect E2 with TC on the DLC in the engine bay and before you turn the ignition key to ON, be ready to count how many times each light blinks in patterns.

The patterns are in sequence: each light that contains an error code will blink out the error code by first blinking the first digit of the code, then a pause, then the second digit, then a bigger pause. After that the next error code and so forth until it reaches the highest error code to show you. Then it will turn off for the longest pause (5 seconds), and then start all over again. Do the count for each light that has a blink pattern other than normal non stop blinking.

For example. say one of the VSC light has recorded 2 codes - 12 and 42: the moment you turn the ignition ON it lights up for a few seconds then first it will blink 1 time, pause, then 2 blinks, longer pause, then 4 blinks, pause, then 2 blinks, then longest pause (5 seconds). Then it starts from the 12 error code again.

Turn the ignition key to ON and start counting. Read the code or easier way - just post a two three minute video that shows all the lights on the dash that are blinking. Just keep the phone steady.

Then we'll see where your problem is and how hard it would be to fix it up.

I say ready your camera before you switch the ignition key to ON.

Second question - if the lights are ON, then the system is OFF. So it wont bother you while driving around the country...BUT if the problem pertains to the big hydraulic brake booster, it should be of concern, as it could leave you without brakes if the issue is a serious one.

Most of the time it's an ABS sensor's broken wire, but sometimes it could be bigger problem. Don't rush to buy stuff off of Ebay, before you let us know what the light codes are. And don't erase the codes before you record them on a piece of paper. Dont disconnect batteries or pull fuses.

Hope this helps.
