What does it mean in a Toyota dashboard sign?

A red exclamation mark inside a circle

This warning light indicates that the brake system is malfunctioning. It could mean that the brake fluid level is low, the brake pads are worn out, or there is a problem with the brake lines.

A yellow "check engine" light

This warning light indicates that the engine control unit (ECU) has detected a problem with the engine. It could be something minor, like a loose gas cap, or something more serious, like a faulty oxygen sensor.

A red "oil" light

This warning light indicates that the oil pressure is low. This is a serious problem that can damage the engine if not addressed immediately.

A red "battery" light

This warning light indicates that the battery is not charging properly. This could be due to a faulty alternator, a loose battery connection, or a bad battery.

A yellow "ABS" light

This warning light indicates that the anti-lock braking system (ABS) is not working properly. This could be due to a faulty ABS sensor, a damaged ABS module, or a low brake fluid level.

A red "airbag" light

This warning light indicates that the airbag system is not working properly. This could be due to a faulty airbag sensor, a loose airbag connection, or a bad airbag module.

A yellow "TPMS" light

This warning light indicates that the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) has detected a low tire pressure. This could be due to a flat tire, a slow leak, or a faulty TPMS sensor.

A red "immobilizer" light

This warning light indicates that the immobilizer system is not working properly. This could be due to a faulty key, a damaged antenna ring, or a bad ECU.

If you see any of these warning lights on your Toyota dashboard, it is important to have the vehicle diagnosed by a qualified mechanic as soon as possible. Ignoring these warnings could lead to more serious problems and expensive repairs.
