15,150mi and take to dealer light comes on!

edoggsmooth · 03-23-2005, 06:49 PM

Driving along today (rainy slushy day in NYC, so I'm taking it easy) and as i coast up to the red light and come to a complete stop, lights come up on my screen and dashboard screen.

Three symbols are displayed on the dash: the big red triangle (!), the yellow square that i read in the manual tells me to call toyota immediately, and a little yellow (!)

As the title says, I have 15,150 on the car, full tank, oil changed in January, less than 1,000 on it since then.

Anyone else have this happen? I am calling Toyota tomorrow, but I'd like to hear from those with similar experiences before I freak out.

Thanks,
Ed

Sorry to hear about your problem. I think there is a TSB that covers this, they have to reflash the computer with a new Calibration. See if the following sounds like your problem:

Ed- Funny, I just had the same problem yesterday! Here's the post about it:

I brought it to my dealer, they checked the codes and re-programmed the ECU, no charge. Everything seems fine now. Good luck.
