2008 toyota highlanger,TRAC,VSC and check engine lights came on after the key was in the egnition for an extented time, they came up right after i started the vehicule (wich was a ruff start because it drained the battery a bit), i tried pushing the button but it didn't work. What do i do?

I had this happen just last week, after I took my Highlander in for an oil change, though not at a dealer's. I reset the "maintenace required" display, and it solved the problem. While holding the Trip Odometer A button, press and hold the Engine Start button. The display should say "resetting maintenance," and warning lights should go off.
