bullet_uk Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 (edited) So its a normal saturday night and I'm sat here watching Take Me Out, then It suddenly dawns on me that i have never seen my warning light come on in the supra, I know this is a good thing but i don't ever recall it ever coming on when starting the car, I'm not overly worried as i have just had a lot of work done to the car and a lot of things change but even so. so my question is why wouldn't it come on when you put the key in the ignition??

Josh Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 It should come on when the handbrake is on. Mine does anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 really surly only the handbrake light should come on? I'm talking about the triangle light in the centre of the clocks I'm not sure, but it does come on with the handbrake light when it's on. If it's not supposed to do it, then it must have been messed with It goes off when the handbrake is off and it's never come on at any other time.

fastcar Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 It should come on when you put the key in the ignition and start the car but once you take the handbrake off it should then turn off unless there a door open or a problem with your car:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPG Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Check for fault codes first and then have a look to see if the buld is fused Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also comes on when you turn the traction control off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastcar Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 It also comes on when you turn the traction control off Are you sure! I have never had the warning light come on when I turn the traction control off. The only light I have come on is the yellow slip cont light come on to say its off. I don't the warning light should come on. For the OP I would say the bulb has gone or maybe a fuse as said before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lude Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 triangle comes on when the hand brake is up, and it also comes on when driving IF you have a engine fault. i have my traction control disabled, (removed fuse) that doesnt effect the triangle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Mitchell Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Check your bonnet is shut correctly? Check brake fluid level? Check all doors are shut? Handbrake not down completely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
