Unknown Warning Light

[Quick Red Head]

Ok, this one warning light keeps coming on and I don't know what it is. It is an orange light with a picture of a car, looking from above, down onto it, and a couple lines coming from each of the rear tires. Any ideas? I haven't been able to find it anywhere. And it comes on just during normal driving, I'm not spinning the tires or anything.

My marker light faliure warning light keeps coming on too, I think its actually one of my fog lamps thats out.. Anyone know if its a pain in the ass to rewire because I heard thats the problem.

That's the "burning rubber" indicator. You're way too bad ass and at serious risk of smokin' any who comes along.... well, it IS a Supra after all.


Heh, I never really thought that the lines could be coming from the tires... lends itself to a whole new kind of interpretation.

I dont recall the foglights being wired into that failure box. I could be wrong though

It's not a USDM vehicle he's talking about. I can't recall, but do the Canadian MKIII's have rear fog lights?

And as to what you're thinking Pogoism, no, no forward lights are connected to the lamp failure module.

So when that comes on, my tail lights aren't working? Since it only comes on once in awhile for a few minutes at a time, should I check the connectors and the wiring for the tail lights?

Most likely its just the box under the drivers side tail light. But one of your lights may be out as well. Have a friend check for you.

Corrosion on the bulb contacts will cause this too.

Leaky tail light or hatch gasket is your cause

i've never seen that warning on my canadian car and i've had to replace all of my bulbs at one point or another from being burnt out.

 

[BlackDynamite]

Well, see i had the same problem, except i replaced all bulbs(brakes, side markers, etc). and all work correctly. But that light still comes on for me.....But my dash doesn't light up. could that have something to do with it?

 

[jdub]

What do you mean "my dash doesn't light up"?

Depends on the bulbs you used...LEDs don't have the resistance required to make the failure module "happy".
If you're using std bulbs, it's likely the module.

 

[BlackDynamite]

Well, when i turn on my lights, the dash should light up correct!? LOL cause it will light up for a second then turn off when i click on my headlights...

I used new stock bulbs that came in the car. No modifications.

i've done a rewire to where the "lamp failure light" does not come on anymore. its just cutting a few connecting them. i don;t remember where exactly i found the directions to, i think it was either on here or on www.supras.com. try searching it on here and see if it come up.

 

[Quick Red Head]

Alright, thanks for the help. I will check them out tomorrow and see whats up.

Might check the grounds in the tail lights as well. Just don't over tighten them, or you'll strip/ break the plastic.
