Toyota 4Runner Warning Lights

Your vehicle is equipped with several warning lights that illuminate when there’s a malfunction to a vital system of your vehicle.

Here are some of the most important warning lights to watch for:

• ABS warning light: This light says “ABS” and will come on when there’s a malfunction in your anti-lock braking system. This can become serious, so it’s important to get your vehicle to a service center as quickly as possible.
• Tire pressure warning: This light looks like a tire with an exclamation point and indicates low tire pressure. Correcting this problem is usually as simple as adjusting the inflation pressure, but if it doesn’t turn off, you may need your vehicle checked by a technician.
• Engine management: This light is your standard “check engine” light. It will come on for many reasons, so it’s always best to have your vehicle inspected by a technician to determine the cause.
• Maintenance required reminder light: This light says “MAINT REQD” and monitors your vehicle’s maintenance schedule. It will alert you to your routine services, such as an oil change.
• SRS warning light: This light has a passenger with a circle in front and monitors the airbag system. This could result in the airbags not deploying as they should, so it’s important to have your vehicle serviced if you see this light.
• Low oil pressure warning light: This light looks like an oil lamp and indicates that your vehicle’s oil pressure is low. Low oil pressure can seriously damage your engine, so if this light comes on, your vehicle needs immediate service.
• Charging system warning light: This light looks like a battery with positive and negative signs. It monitors your battery and charging system, but many potential problems can cause it to come on. If this happens, make an appointment with a service center as soon as possible.

Toyota 4 Runner Indicator Lights

Not all of your dashboard lights indicate a malfunction with your vehicle. There are several indicator lights that are designed to let you know that a system is active or inactive.

Here are some of the common indicator lights you’ll see:

• Eco-driving indicator: This symbol is “ECO” and is designed to increase your fuel economy. If your acceleration exceeds the Eco Driving mode, this light will turn off.
• Turn signal indicator: This symbol is two areas facing away from each other and indicates that your turn signals are in use.
• Headlight indicator: This symbol looks like a light bulb and indicates that your headlights, marker lights, parking lights, license plate lights, daytime running lights or tail lights are on.
