I had my wheel replaced, new tire put on but the tire pressure monitoring system is still telling me "Tire Pressure Too Low" and there's an icon in the speedometer of a tire with an exclamation point in it that flashes....
View 24 Replies2009 Ford Explorer, 6cyl, 4L, 33K miles. When its started up, the message "Tire Sensor Fault" appears along with the low tire icon flashing (steady light after ~30 seconds). I can then press the reset button on my dash to clear the message. However, the tire light icon stays lit. I've checked and re-checked the tire pressure in all the tires (spare included) and I'm right at the recommended 32-34 psi on all the tires. No signs of leaks at all. I'm assuming one (or more) of the tire pressure sensors have gone bad and there's no way for a garage (or myself) to identify which one or repair this. Should I assume a trip to the dreaded dealer for this problem ???

View 4 RepliesA while ago I lost my second FOB for my 04 Toyota Prius. I ordered a new one online and it arrived.
Before starting the process I got inside and tried turning the car on with the original key but all that happened was the Key with an exclamation point came on the dashboard and beeped for about 5 seconds.
The manual said that this means, "the smart key was not in the effective range."
I inserted the original key into the key slot but the same thing happened. This also happened when I put the key next to the power button and pressed on. I double checked to make sure the SKS button below the steering wheel was not pushed in. I tried all of this again with the new FOB away from the vehicle and a couple days later.
Same result.
I have a 2005 Prius. The red triangle and the MIL check engine light came on the dash AND a image came up on Information screen: a car with an exclamation point.
View 3 RepliesMy Prius has about 145K miles on it and use it on a daily 130 mi round trip commute. Recently, a I got a Red Triangle w/ Exclamation Point and the displayed showed "Problem". I took the car to the dealership and they stated the problem was caused from a low oil level. The dealership changed the oil and I was good to go. 3k miles later, I got the same error and noticed my oil level was low once again. It seems that my Prius is burning oil at rate of 1 quart per 2500 miles driven. What can be causing this? Are there any remedies I can try before changing out the piston rings?
View 19 RepliesI am getting the red triangle and the little car with exclimation point on the MFD. Interestingly all of the amber lights are on and the brake light is on BUT the parking brake is not set.
Here is what happened --my hybrid battery died a few weeks ago so I ordered a replacement through Summit Racing (Dorman Battery). The car started and drove but I had to rest codes to keep it alive (just to get it home). Last moved it 3 weeks ago and removed the old battery.
So long story short -- while I was waiting for the new battery I repaired some other issues -- BTW I am not new to this, I have the tools and have done these repairs on conventional cars many times.
1. Leaking axle seals -- replaced L and R seals
2. replaced L and R half axles (drivers side was rough so replaced both)
3. Found drivers side wheel bearing to be rough so replaced L and R hubs
4. Replaced L and R struts and strut mounts.
5. Drained and refilled trans axle with Toyota W (TF) 4 qts
6. Installed new 12v battery (currently producing 13.4v)
7. Replaced rear struts.
8. Replaced L and R front rotors and shoes -- they were off anyway so why not. No loss of fluid!
9. Removed and cleaned most interior parts -- door panels, seats etc...
Installed new HV battery and fired her up to the usual wheezing, whining and clicking sounds. But NO engine -- just the triangle -- problem statement and and the other above issues.
Checked the following -- inverter pump is circulating nicely, though maybe battery electronics -- so I placed the old battery back in (it was started with the old one 3 weeks ago) -- nope same issue so not those electronics. Traced all wires, plugs and connectors related to hybrid system -- all seem to be in place.
I bought my Prius 9 weeks ago with 201k miles. It now has 214k on the odometer... that's right, 13,000 miles in just over 2 months. I love it. It's been problem free so far until last week when someone pulled out in front of me. I had to brake hard and when I did i got the red triangle exclamation point. No words, just the symbol.

View 2 RepliesYesterday while running errands the exclamation point on the dash illuminated along with the ABS and VSC indicators. I haven't had my Prius for very long but I kind of expected it to happen at some point as I had done the test a few weeks after I bought it and found the resting voltage wasn't all that great but it wasn't causing problems at the time. Time To Replace The 12 Volt Battery...
View 16 RepliesThe triangle comes on momentary for the past week. It first occurred when I turned right at 20 mph. The next time was during a sweeping left turn. Off and on with turns left and right. the last few times it was longer in different situations and I could read the LCD display where is said "PROBLEM".
The local dealer said check brake fluid and open and close all doors. Since it is more frequent I called my mechanic and he thinks it could be door sensors that have built up junk. The dealership does not think it is a safety issue and without any lights on their analyzer could not pull any codes.
Warning light is a steering wheel with an exclamation point - both red, the car will not start.Got new tires 48 hours before this warning light came on.I am trying to see if it is a quick fix that I can do myself, or know enough so I get taken advantage at the dealers.

View 1 RepliesI am getting a 3006,3011,3015 code from my 2001 prius. The car only has 56k miles on it but sat for 8 months without starting or unplugging the batteries. I am wondering if i need to replace bank 1 and 5 on the battery to get the engine light off? The car runs fine and drives great but engine light is on and the triangle exclamation point is on but that's it for lights. What do i need to do? Replace battery altogether? recharge the effected banks?
View 19 RepliesI have a 2007 Toyota prius base model, it has 49,845 miles. Today i got in, pressed the bake, pressed the on button, and the Red Triangle appeared with yellow exclamation point in a circle, and on the lcd monitor it shows that there is a problem and a little icon of a car with an exclamation point on it.
The car drives and runs normal, fuel mileage seems to be the same, everything looks normal except the lights. One thing I tried to do: I took off the battery clamp and i put it back on, the warning lights were gone, but as soon as the engine kicked in the same warning lights came on.
Recently bought a 02 with 34 K, had been well maintained. Last night it wouldn't start so hubby jumped it (properly). Started right away, making him think that wasn't what it needed. Right after that, the Master Warning light came on, the Car with Exclamation Point in it (hybrid system warning light) and the check engine light. The car runs, but it did die, and I had to restart the car, then seemed to drive fine. We don't live near a Toyota dealer, would a regular mechanic be able to read the codes properly? What else should we consider? Should we drive the car?
View 8 RepliesI just acquired our second Prius, a beautiful 2002 (Gen1 in the USA) with 90k miles. On the dash, I get the red triangle of death with the exclamation point inside it. On the computer info screen, I have an icon of a car with an exclamation point in it and it reads "problem". I have connected the OBDII reader to it and it does not have any codes. Nothing in the history, or in the current or pending. The car has full power and runs fine, but has the stupid RTOD.

On two occasions we've had a warning light appear that is not the CEL. It's a triangle with an exclamation point in the middle of it. The first time, my wife called and told me about it and it only appeared for a few minutes and disappeared. I checked the codes and there were none--that was several months ago.
The second time it happened (a few weeks ago), I was driving on an interstate at 70 mph with the cruise control on. The aforementioned indicator light appeared for about two minutes and disappeared. I immediately called Hyundai Bluelink (within a minute) and asked them to look at the code history and they advised they couldn't see any indication of malfunctions. They further advised that indicator meant that maintenance was needed and that I should make an appointment with the dealer. I pushed them for more info, but the operator remained vague about what maintenance my Santa Fe required.
Why does it only illuminate for a few minutes?
I have the red triangle with the exclamation point in it. What it can be? I have a 2006 Prius. It still seems to drive ok. I have parked it though and have an apt Monday morning at Toyota. (They didn't have a Prius tech in today) When I first noticed the light it would come on and go away. Now it's staying on.
View 19 RepliesI have a 2008 Prius, with SKS and Nav, and 103,000 miles on the odometer. I bought it from the original owner in 2010. So far it has been trouble free, with just oil changes and scheduled maintenance.
When I turn power on, I get a red triangle with exclamation point. Also a row of yellow indicator lights. Also along the top of the LCD display there is a red car shape with an exclamation point on it.
I followed the procedure for checking the voltage of the 12v battery using the diagnostic screens, using the procedure at weird-stuff-happening-mpgs-dropping-test-the-battery.73400/and I got 11.8 volts.
Since it seemed likely that my problem is related to the (original OEM) 12v battery, which is now 6 years old, I took my handy jump-start battery thing (see photo below) and attached its red alligator clip to the positive post under the hood, and the black clip to the frame. I hoped that would allow me to start the car, but it did not start. The error lights on the dash were unchanged.
Question 1. Does the fact that the symptoms remain the same after I have connected my jump-start battery mean that the problem I'm having is NOT my 12v battery?
I then hooked up my cheap OBDII code scanner (see photo below) and checked for codes. It found none.
Question 2. Does the OBDII scanner not finding any codes have any importance? When people write about having their car towed to the dealer and having error codes read there, does that refer to OBDII codes, or are they referring to some other type of codes that can only be read by a dealer?
While I was in the diagnostic screens, I found three screens of error codes. The screens are called DSP-AMP, EMV, and NAVI. See 3 photos below.
Question 3. Do these error codes have significance?
I have a 2009 Prius Touring with about 55,000 miles on it. Had it regularly serviced last Thursday at the Toyota dealer/service center, and they said it needed to have the coolant flow control valve replaced due to sticking - so I agreed and they did it under warranty.
On Friday afternoon, I was driving out to the desert and about 50 miles into my trip, the red triangle with exclamation point symbol appeared on my dash, and the word "Problem" beeped on my screen. Then it went off, and then back on a few minutes later. Then it happened again and the high coolant temperature warning light came on the screen...and then went away. I turned off the A/C and opened the hood to check for steam or heat, but there was nothing. Since I was far from my destination, I called the closest Toyota service center and promptly drove there, but the light was off when I arrived. They said they checked everything out and ran the codes, but nothing came up.
When driving home on Sunday, the car did the same thing - Problem Triangle and High Coolant Temperature warning light on and off for varying amounts of time and with no correlation to how fast I was driving or how hard the engine was working. I left the A/C off the entire time.
Today, the car did the same thing after driving for about 10 miles. I brought it back to my regular service center, they ran codes and checked everything out...but they cannot find anything. They said they can't determine anything with the light off, but it doesn't stay on consistently so it's nearly impossible to bring it in with the light on.
