bobapple Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Hello again gents another strange one today involving dash lights, now done a search but cant seem to find a straight up answer, basically set off home from work this eve, got on the motorway and a warning light came on?!?!?. Its the one shaped like an engine to the right of your steering wheel its amber in colour. It came on for a bit then went off?!!?!.. So my question is my supra going to blow up. .

Tricky-Ricky Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 You need to top up your oil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobapple Posted August 18, 2008 Author Share Posted August 18, 2008 Cheers mate but thought that was the amber oil can with wavy lines under. Plus topped up not long ago . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben-san Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 You need to check for fault codes Bob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaz1 Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Cheers mate but thought that was the amber oil can with wavy lines under. Plus topped up not long ago . no thats oil pressure mate, if you are topping up with oil every few hundred miles, check for leaks or stem seals on start up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi I may be wrong as I am fairly new to supra ownership, but it might be worth checking your O2 sensors as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 no thats oil pressure mate, if you are topping up with oil every few hundred miles, check for leaks or stem seals on start up He's right, the oil level is the amber oil can, oil pressure is the red oil can light. Bob check for ECU fault codes, see instructions here http://mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=35920 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Hi I may be wrong as I am fairly new to supra ownership, but it might be worth checking your O2 sensors as well. A duff O2 sensor won't activate the warning light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobapple Posted August 19, 2008 Author Share Posted August 19, 2008 (edited) Cheers for the replys guys, I will deffo check the error codes, can you tell me though is it a light on the dash that will flash or on the ECU. Sorry for the silly question never really done anything with my ECU yet. Yeah I thought if the red oil can came I'd be crying hard... Yes I also need stem seals doing and turbo seals but really cant afford the 4K it will cost to put right. Hopefully soon though.

Nic Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Yes I also need stem seals doing and turbo seals but really cant afford the 4K it will cost to put right. Hopefully soon though. Toyota sell a complete gasket/seal kit for the head that includes new stem seals. If you need price for parts just let me know. http://img501.imageshack.us/img501/2530/picture6xw9.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbonut Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Don't mean to sound obvious but if your engine's overheating it could trigger eng warning light? Have you checked your coolant levels too? If it returns to low even after topping up you may have a leak, check your pipes and rad for leaks....... Hope you get it sorted and its nothing serious L Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
