I’m reposting this because I was told it wasn’t completely visible for some unknown reason. I have a 2007 Toyota RAV4 4 cylinder. The issue is when I accelerate and the car goes into overdrive all of a sudden three lights will come on and the power steering shuts down while I’m still going down the road…The lights that come on are VSC, ABS, and 4WD.  
I pull over turn the engine off…wait for a short while, turn it back on and everything is fine. Again it happens when ““I accelerate”” going up a mountain and the car kicks into overdrive!  
Thanks in advance …Cheers,  
Guy
