Nettielikescars Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 Hi everyone, just brought a MKiv Supra, its not my first sup i had a MK3 which died! I seem to have a warning light on, on the dash, its a red light with a Triangle and an ! mark, can anyone shed any light (pardon the pun), on what is warning me about, please. I look forward to chatting with you all in the future. Many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyT Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 Hi there. Welcome. Is there any other light on to the right and left of the wheel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian R Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 Could be fluid levels. However warning triangle can be just about anything. (could even be an open door). Try checking fault codes which should give you an idea as to what it could be. If it is not fluid levels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyT Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 As Ian says. The most common level causing this is the brake fluid level. Needs to be spot on to make the light go out. Easiest to check too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nettielikescars Posted September 20, 2009 Author Share Posted September 20, 2009 Many thanks, the brake fluid was down to the min mark, so topped it up, also need to top up the Auto fluid, but didn't have any, so will buy some tomorrow. If the levels don't work then i'll try the wire loop trick. Will post up some pictures once i have finished cleaning it. Thanks for the warm welcome.[GRIN][/GRIN] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nettielikescars Posted September 21, 2009 Author Share Posted September 21, 2009 mate. What spec is it? N/A Auto Totally Standard 61000 miles, import. 1995 on a M, imported Dec 2005. Seems the warning light was because the Fluid levels were low, now all topped up warning,light now OK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nettielikescars Posted September 21, 2009 Author Share Posted September 21, 2009 Seems to have a buffereting knock at the front end, could this be front shocks or is there any common bushes that go, that wouldn't be picked up on the MOT?
