Warning symbol on speedometer

Anyone know what this symbol might be indicating?

you may want to bring it to an auto parts store that does free OBDII code pulls, or get one of your own readers, before bringing it to a dealer.
Edit: ignore any "it's a friday post" (and it is friday). i checked your other posts and you seem legit/newish. welcome.

 

Just another Friday post...

 

Step 1 - Pop hood.
Step 2 - Verify engine didn't fall out.
Step 3 - Close hood.

Happy Friday!

 

I am legit and newish to the forum. Thanks for the response, and it’s Friday post tip. I had never noticed that symbol before today. It comes on when I turn the key in the ignition, along with a message in the center display to check charging system, but neither stays on once I start the engine. I’m wondering if the speedometer symbol and check charging system message are telling me the same thing or unrelated.

 

That's normal. As long as they go off once you start the truck, everything is fine.

Just to add a quick edit, I even saw a post on Reddit where somebody used that "trick" to pretend something was wrong with his truck right before he was supposed to meet a buyer as an excuse to not sell it.

 

Normal - it is just letting you know the light is working in case there is a reason for it to be on.
the center display charging annoyance is similar, letting you know battery is being drained without the alternator working.

 

Surprised you didn’t get this light.

 

It looks to me like you have 3/4 of a tank. I might be wrong.

 

to my knowledge, toyota does not own any oil refineries. if they did, that would be a reasonable assumption.

 

that is a classic. never saw it before. will be using that again.

 

It means that aliens will soon be arriving to transfer you to their base on the sun.

 

That's telling you that the ignition is on, but the engine isn't running.

 

Thats normal if engine is not running. The light must turn off while truck is up and running. If it stays on while engine is on, then there is an issue.

It would mean something is wrong with the car, there is a code that needs to be read by OBD scanner, it will say what is wrong. Then you take picture or type out code and what it says there and we can help you out

OBD scanner plugs to the left lower side of he steering wheel.

 

did you ck the manual ?

 

girls will be girls

 

OMG

 

Friday!
