Prius (2004-09) :: 2005 - Master Warning Light / Malfunction Indicator / VSC / Brake Warning Light Came On

In my one-owner purchased-new 2005 Prius w/ 74K miles and w/ no maintenance/accident history other than doing all scheduled maintenances at Toyota Dealers along w/ recalls applicable at each time (other than we had Toyota replace the 12V battery last year just because I knew it would die at some point anyway and I don't like pushing my luck; I'm not 100% certain if there's been a recall on any water pump for this car and if so, don't believe the dealer has mentioned it), I have the following indicators which appeared all at once while I was driving along at around 45 MPH in no unusual circumstances (80F, dry afternoon, about 30 minutes into a trip of mixed speeds, no loads in the vehicle, no effect on the car while driving):

From Left to Right on the display:

1) Red Triangle - Master Warning Light

2) Orange (Symbol)CHECK - Malfunction Indicator Lamp

3) Orange (!) - Brake Warning Light (but it didn't highlight the word 'Brake' in red)

4) Orange VSC - Vehicle Stability Control Warning Light

On the Screen:

Orange Car w/ the ! symbol - Hybrid System Warning Light

We immediately aimed for the house (about 5 miles away); the car drove perfectly fine, with the engine stopping and starting at lights as needed, with speeds going from the 55MPH we were traveling at the time of the alarms down to 0 and back up thru 35/45 MPH and such per normal off-interstate driving. The battery currently shows all the blue bars, and the engine and hybrid systems showed charge/discharge as usual as we drove. There was no discernible change in the driving reaction of the car to brake, steering, accelerator, etc.

Elantra GD (2013+) :: Instrument Cluster Warning Light

So I'm driving my kids to school, and this light pops up on the dash (with a chime, of course). So for fun, I had my son pull out the owners manual and look for it.

It isn't in the manual.. In fact, the book shows NOTHING in that cluster location.

Luckily I got a picture of it, 'cause it disappeared after about 20 minutes.

Tiguan :: Changing Instrument Cluster To Celsius ABS / ESP Warning Light Came On?

Bought a VAG cable, got VCDS 12.12.0 running. Found the instrument cluster and changed the region to ROW(rest of world)(I have a US Tiguan). The center screen on the cluster changes( as in F change to C, Miles change to Kilometers, everything is ok). However, after recoding the cluster the airbag, ABS, and ESP warning lights come on. Once I revert all changes back to the US coding, everything is again ok.

Passat (B5) :: Brake Warning Light Flashes, Stop Displays On The Instrument Screen

2004 Passat GLS 1.8t 5 spd. This started last week. It is very inconsistent, but I seem to have it happen more when it's cold out. Sometimes I am coming to a stop, just leaving from one or could be doing 30-60 mph - truly no rhyme or reason. Anyway, the brake warning light flashes, the cluster beeps loudly 3 times and it says STOP on the instrument screen. It then changes to "brake fault" and then "service manual". After that cycle, everything goes away and it usually won't do it again. One time I had it do it 3 times back to back. Brakes work fine. I have good pad depth. Fluid looks like I should flush it, but level is fine. I scanned w VAG-COM and found no faults.

Camry 2012+ :: Instrument Cluster Showing MAINT REQD Warning Light

I own a 2012 Toyota Camry LE (TCLE), and recently I've noticed that the "instrument cluster" shows "MAINT REQD" warning light on for more than a few seconds when I start the car. All other warning lights do turn off while the "MAINT REQD" is still ON for a few seconds more than I usually remember. This car has about 25K miles, and I bought it with 19K miles. Should I take it to a dealer for a check up? By the way, I was waiting until the end of February to take the car for a oil change, but I am now concerned with this stupid WARNING light

Ford F-150 (2009-2014) :: 2011 - Airbag Warning Light On In Instrument Cluster

I have a 2011 F150 supercrew 4x4 5.0, it has almost 8k miles. I have looked around online to see if this is a common issue but haven't found anything really. The airbag warning light in the instrument cluster will come on and stay on randomly. Some days it only lights up when I start the truck, other days it will turn on and stay on until I restart the truck. I think I have a glitch or a malfunction in a switch somewhere with the Airbag system. I will be calling the dealership about it after we finish the Easter Weekend.

Prius (2004-09) :: 2006 - At Start Up Master Warning Light / Brake Light Comes On

We recently purchased a used 2006 Prius. The vehicle has approximately 74K on it now. Well the other day my wife went to leave work and pressed the power button while pressing the brake pedal, and the Master Warning Light and brake warning light both came on. The car would not allow her to shift the car so she tried to turn it off and it wouldn't do that either. After about 5 minutes she finally got the car to turn off, and when she restarted the sequence everything went back to normal and she drove home fine.

We called 2 dealers and they both seem to be confused by the symptoms, but one thought that maybe the battery was old on the transmitter. So thinking that might make sense I replaced the battery with a new one.

Ford Super Duty (1999-2016) :: 2004 - Reinstalled Fuse Box - No Instrument Cluster Warning Lights?

I have a 2004 f 450 cab and chassis truck that the problem started out with the radio not coming on. So I asked the local dealer and he gave me a wiring diagram. I pulled the fuse box out and checked the wire from the fuse box to the radio and it works. Great. But he also said I could take the fuse box apart and check to see if their was a broken connection in it. So I did and could only get so far with it. It has a lot of pin on one side that go all the always through and are soldered on both ends. So I put it all back together and reinstalled it. Now the instrument cluster does not work. Not even the warning lights. The interior light doesn't come on either or the door chime. Is it possible to melt the solder off and open the fuse box completely and check all the connections.

Prius (2004-09) :: Master Warning Light / Red Triangle Exclamation Point And Check Engine Light Came On

My wife and I own a 2006 Toyota Prius that we bought used 2 years ago. a couple of days ago, the master warning light (red triangle exclamation point) and check engine light came on. I took it into the dealer and of course, our hybrid battery was dead - battery and a new ECU required.

Our car is at 99,000 and 32 days out of warranty. Went down the road to atlanta hybrid repair. they were incredibly nice, and said that my computer was fine, but the battery would need to be replaced.

Prius (Gen 2) :: 2004 - Red Triangle Warning Light Came On And Went Away?

The red triangle warning light on our 2004 came on and went away again It has 100k miles If I take it to the dealer can they pull some codes and figure out why it turned on We have to drive the car to 600 miles for the upcoming weekend and I don't want to be stranded on the side of the road The car has 103,000 miles We just replaced the 12v battery so I know that is OK

I also saw the following things to check. Is there anything else we should check?

1 - Are any warning lights on besides the red triangle? For example, the red BRAKE light, the amber ABS and VSC lights, or the amber circular icon?

2 - Did you check the brake fluid level? If low, buy a new container of DOT3 brake fluid and replenish as needed This fluid will dissolve paint, so do not spill it

3 - While you are at it, check the radiator and inverter coolant levels by looking at the translucent reservoirs behind the radiator and next to the inverter If low, fill with Toyota Super Long Life Coolant

Prius (Gen 2) :: 2004 Red Warning Light Flashed Per Second, Once Per Day

It was driving me crazy that the red triangle warning light (master warning light) flashed for only a split second, once per day, two days in a row.

I drive 100 miles per day. My 2004 Prius has 136K miles.

It turned out to be low motor oil level, 1.75 quarts low.

My car is burning about one quart every 5K miles which probably is within the normal range for a 136K car.

Prius (2004-09) :: Master Warning Light Comes On And Off

I was driving earlier today and it flashed twice (about a second and a half each), and then didn't see it again for a few hours. I was going about 40 MPH at the time.

I was driving somewhere else today and when I got to the 70MPH mark (really, between 60-70), it objectively increased in frequency. I searched google and these forums, and the closest thread I can find that shares my ailments was this one:

Prius (2004-09) :: VSC Warning Light Came On, Car Won't Start

After 10 minutes running errands in stop and go traffic, I noticed the VSC warning light. It was a hot and humid day (mid-80's). Made it home and was unable to open my garage door with the mirror that is equipped with an automated door opener. I turned the car off so I could open the garage, and when I tried to start my car again using my smart key, it would not start. I put the key in the key slot and was able to start the car, but the smart key, radio, windows and automatic door lock would not work.

Mileage is just under 25K.

Prius (2004-09) :: Master Warning Light Came On

So the other day my girlfriend got in her car and it had the master warning light on. we took it to the dealer and now they are saying it is something with the transmission and it would be cheaper to just install a new one. Another thing is how could it be the transmission if i drove it over to the dealer and head no problem with the gears changing, but he also said something about a voltage leak.

Prius (2004-09) :: VSC Warning Light Came On And Won't Go Off - Code 34

I nearly killed my 12v battery this week when I left my dome light on in the Airport parking lot. When I got back to the car I was able to pop the hatchback, but there wasn't enough juice to start her up. I was able to get a booster pack jump and it looked like everything was fine (didn't even lose the radio presets on the aftermarket deck). I had a long ride home to charge the 12v battery up. I changed out to the Optima yellow-top a couple years ago, so I'm not too worried about the battery being crippled. I've gone into the onboard signal menu and the battery voltage is well within spec idle and under load after a few hours of driving recharge.

Low and behold, the next day the VSC warning light came on and won't go off. I am NOT getting the brake (!), red triangle, or ABS warning light as others have received with 12v battery issues. I put on the OBC scanner and pulled no issues. I jumpered pin 13 TC and 4 Gnd on the interface to get the flash codes and sure enough, I'm getting a 34 code on the VSC system. I have been unable to clear the code via tapping the brakes.

What a VSC 34 is and how to clear it?

Prius (2004-09) :: Warning Light Accompanied By The ICE, P0121

Recently I had a warning light accompanied by the ICE shutting down. P0121. As the repair, the throttle body was cleaned.

A week or two later, while in Park with the parking brake engaged, I got another warning light along with some text on the display, something about parking brake. I didn't completely absorb the message before powering off, waiting, then powering on. No more warning light.
