motley Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 Supra been parked up for a while so could get the wheels refurbed. Took it out yesterday and it was fine then started it to come home and the dash lit up. I know the battery discharge light but can't find in the book what the light on the right of it is... Can anyone enlighten me... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nic Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 Multiple warning lights coming on is usually caused by a problem with the alternator, also check that the battery terminals are secure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jay200bhp Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 it is the cat overheat light but i agree with nic...maybe a background alternator issue... there large money from mr t too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

motley Posted December 9, 2012 Author Share Posted December 9, 2012 Thanks guys. I have a feeling it may be the alternator. Car went heavy steering before I turned it off. Turned the engine off tried it again and it was just clicking coupled with the battery discharge it kind of adds up. Battery recharged and held a charge but the lights for discharge and the cat are on. Oh well more expense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 Also check the condition of the crankshaft pulley if it has delaminated this could also cause the problems you describe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motley Posted December 9, 2012 Author Share Posted December 9, 2012 Thanks Nic I'll take a look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havard Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 Have you emptied your ashtray? If so then it's probably the alternator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
st3ven1 Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 As Nic said, I'd double check the crank pulley especially as you mentioned the steering issue as well. Also worth checking there is no liquid down any of the spark plug holes. Let us know how you get on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Paine Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 I had all sorts of warnings come up when my alternator failed. The guy I went to said that you should never jump lead or power pack start a Supra as it burns out the pack on the back? Just connect jump leads and leave the good batteries engined car running for 15 mins to push the charge across. I got my alternator from /supra sanctuary. He trades on e bay under loadedsoarer (702) and is in Wisbech. Knows his stuff on alternators. Will only deal through e mail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
