Common Toyota Dashboard Lights: What You Need To Know
Whether you drive a RAV4 or a Corolla in Stafford, many of the Toyota warning lights are universal. Here are some of the most common lights and indicators you may encounter at some point:
- ABS Warning Light: This light indicates a fault in the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) or the brake assist system. Visit your dealership as soon as possible for an inspection.
- Charging System Warning Light: Do you see a battery light? This light indicates a malfunction in the vehicle’s charging system. Stop driving as soon as it is safe to do so and contact your dealership for assistance.
- Seatbelt Reminder Light: This light is a reminder to the driver and/or passengers to fasten their seatbelts.
- SRS Warning Light: This light indicates a fault in the SRS airbag system; schedule an inspection immediately.
- Tire Pressure Warning Light: If you see this warning light, at least one of your tires has low air pressure. Adjust the air as needed to remedy the issue. If the light remains after adjusting the pressure, it may signal a fault in the Tire Pressure Monitoring System; schedule an inspection promptly.
- TRAC OFF Indicator: The “TRAC OFF” light indicates that the vehicle’s traction control system is turned off.
- Slip Indicator: If the light featuring a vehicle with wavy lines behind it lights up and flashes, it means that Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) is currently active.
- Low Engine Oil Pressure Warning Light: If the oil-can-shaped light comes on and stays lit, have your vehicle inspected immediately.
