Typically in Toyota products when there is a cel some or all of the sub-sytems may shut down, depending on the fault - ie abs, vsa, tcs, 4wd etc. Its beginning to look like there are issues with variable valve timing related components on the early production run of these engines. The fix seems simple enough - but do NOT ignore cel's. On a Honda, for instance you could end up with a CKP/CMP out of phase code - the precursor to a timing chain jumping and resulting in bent valves!
