Hello everyone, i am having an issue with my rav4 v6, shortly after starting the abs, vsc and 4wd light will come on. Also the seatbelt light will come on and off as it wishes. These issues occurred after leaving it parked for about a month. The day after this the dash was also noticeably slow to respond (example when turning off fog lights, symbol on the dash would stay on) and the rpm needle would drop to zero and then jump back to idle, continuously going back and forth. Any insight to this problem would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

Do the easy stuff first, check the condition of the battery. I'd have it load-tested.

If the problem occurred only after your RAV4 sat for a month then I agree with ravenuer that it may be due to a weak or somewhat discharged battery. After the second day's situation did everything return to normal?

When you left the vehicle for a month was it outdoors? Perhaps rain leaked in and got into the dash and wiring harnesses. Rain can come in through a leaky sunroof, bad windshield seal, or even through the cowl in front of the windshield.
