Toyota Vehicle Service Warning Indicators
On your Toyota dashboard, you will find warning lights that communicate varied and important information about your vehicle. This page contains 10 popular light definitions. If your model has additional warning lights, you'll find their descriptions in your owner's manual.
Airbag Fault
This light means your vehicle's monitoring system has discovered a flaw in your airbags' components. For your crash safety, have this issue immediately repaired.
Low Fuel Level Warning Light
Once you see this light, stop for gas. The range at which this light comes on varies by model, so check your owner's manual.
Oil Pressure Warning Light
Low oil pressure hurts engines, so turn off your car when this indicator appears. Check your oil level and add some if needed. If you find your oil light still glowing once your car has sufficient oil, then you will likely need a new oil pump.

This light is not an emergency. It simply indicates the need for minor service. That need could be scheduled maintenance or repair.
TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System)
You need to add air to your tires if this light appears on your dashboard. Check the decal on your driver's doorjamb for your car's recommended tire pressure, and adjust your tires to that level. If the TPMS indicator stays lit after you continue your trip, schedule service for your tire sensors.

Your traction components are engaged when this light flashes. When it stays lit while you have sufficient traction, your traction system may be malfunctioning. We can expertly service this system at Toyota of Richardson.

While a new battery or alternator may fix this problem, several possibilities exist. Bring your vehicle to our Toyota pros for a reliable diagnosis and solution.

Your vehicle's brakes are critical to your safety, so don't drive with this indicator lit. It alerts you to a serious issue in your brake system. Letting it linger may cause brake-pressure loss. We can expertly diagnose and repair brake issues.

An open door or hatch activates this light. As you secure your doors, check for obstructions, too.
