You have a CAN harness fault. More than likely, it is a loose connector or bad wiring harness to/from the skid control ECU. In addition to the skid control ECU, the yaw rate and acceleration sensor, steering angle sensor, power steering ECU and HV control ECU are included in that harness. A good tech with Toyota Techstream software should be able to find and fix the bad connector or replace the harness if required.

It might be something as simple as a loose connector but shouldn't take too long to diagnose and fix.
