Blinking Red Indicator Light

Hi guys,

I did a search and couldn't find the answer to what is a simple question I am sure. I have a new 2010 Tacoma TRD Access Cab with 3,000 miles on it. I have had it for two months. On the way to work this morning a red indicator light next to the gas gauge started blinking. It looks like a frame with 4 wheels.

I don't have my owners manual here so I cannot look up what that indicator is for.

What subsystem is it for and any idea what might be the problem ?

Also, I can take the truck to any Toyota Dealership for warrenty service correct ?

Thanks.

Dan

 

Yes any dealer. Did you hit the button for your locker? (called RR Diff) it's on the left side of the dash.

 

Four Wheel Drive?

 

yes 4x4 and no I didn't hit the locker button. Just driving to work on the highway this morning, nice dry day.

When I got to work I shifted into 4 wheel just to see if that was the indicator for that (no, that indicator is green and just above the red one) and it made no difference on the red indicator blinking.

 

Just checked the book, it's this one.

 

Embarrased but you were right.......I remember closing the vent and it looks like I hit the locker button.

Glad nothings wrong though.........

 

Glad you found the problem.

 

another problem solved

 

Can't believe you didn't get an owner's manual with your truck

 

I did get one, it was home on the night stand since I was still reading it. The light came on in the morning on my way to work.

When I see a red light on my dash, I usually stick a piece of electrical tape over it

 

hahahahaha thats safe, your nuclear reactor light is gonna start blinking and your just gonna cover it up all willie nillie and blow your truck up!

 

Glade the truck is smart enough not to engage it!!

 

I know this is a really old post but this helped me out. Thanks! My rear diff button was pressed in, i was so worried it meant something was wrong with my differential.

 

Thanks everyone, I went to hit my fog light button and accidentally hit the rear diff button. Freaked me out on my way home from work. Tacoma world saves the day.

 

Did that years ago....
Then i moved it.... ignore the other wires behind the open switch block, i was working on something else. Since i moved the diff lock switch so far from the fog button, ive not made the mistake again.
