VIL Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 Can anyone on the tech side help me? Just went to set off to see the folks for christmas and a mile or two down the motorway I get the Red warning triangle and the orange engine light to the left come on together. The car seems to be running fine and sound fine, accellerates as usual etc... As I was on the motorway I pulled off as early as I could and the lights went out? So risking it I set off home again. Once again the lights came on, stayed on for a bit then went out again? As they keep going on and off it makes me think it might be a fluid level, but oil, transmission, brake fluid, water, active spoiler etc all seem fine? Any suggestions welcome as I am now stuck on Christmas eve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any suggestions welcome as I am now stuck on Christmas eve its probably brake fluid level, you need to be slightly above the fill line, have you checked the levels, my bet its that or engine oil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyT Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 Probs engine level. If it's brakes I think the brake symbol comes on. Merry Christmas... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian C Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 If the Red triangle and the orange engine light come on it is most emphatically NOT the brake fluid level issue. What you've got there my man is a stored error code, so read it sharpish and get back to us with the code. My money is on a 42 And what is "probs engine level" then?! -Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supra ST Myster Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 you are probably just a little low on oil, so check your level Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 It won't be engine oil level, that would illuminate the orange oil can warning light, not the orange engine warning light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
