everyone and anyone help

[ferny]

i have a 89 toyota supra turbo. first the lil emissions indicator turned on now its this one but i dont have the owners manual to know what it is. seems like the intercooler and my car has a boost leak so is that what its indicating? any help at all would be really helpful knowing that i just got my money to fix it. :1zhelp: thanks anyone and everyone in advanced.

your bird is missing ala mk3brent lmao....







for real though thats a coolant is low indicator light...go check your overflow bottle and fill it..the light should go off...however its low for a reason so find out if youre leaking coolant burning it etc.... could be early symptoms of BHG oh noes!

 

[CTsupra]

yup, agreed with Ideal. that's the coolant "birdcage" light.

 

[shaeff]

you'd think that toyota would make it look more like a radiator, wouldn't you? i guess not. haha.

[northsupra]

haha the birdcage, havent heard that one in a while

 

[mrnickleye]

If you look closely, you will see that it is a radiator. The top tank, with the cap, and the bottom tank, and the fins(core) in the middle.
But, I'll admit it, when I first got the car, and that light would come on and off as I went around corners, I thought it was some kind of 'off-level', or body lean warning.
Duh...

I hate that freakin' light. I wanna see if I can take the orange film off and make it red instead, because let's face it: if that thing starts coming on regularly, you ARE "in the red".

hahaha i LOVE that light it brings out our imaginations and everyone freaks out when they see it trying to find out wtf it is and then they think their car is broken


but wait. ... just add water.

 

[boost fiend]

mine never pops on. probably cuz i dont have the stock overflow tank and i also think the bulb is burned out. im too paranoid about coolant level to have it pop on anyhow.

 

[theDon]

lol the birdcage line gotta love it (ideal)

has anyone told ferny this is a low level indicator in the radiator overflow tank yet?? Fill up your overflow tank a bit and it'll go away.

[ToyoHabu]

I've seen it called the museum light
