HLP: Unknown Warning Light + Buzzer

[Guest Close Guest]

Good people,
An unknown warning light and buzzer are on in my Prado VX. It is a yellow light; it is in the section of the fuel gauge, looks like a fluid tank with a drop underneath of the fluid tank. It is accompanied with a buzzer. Since it is in Brazil, I do not trust the locals, so I left the car in the middle of the road. How bad is it? Can I drive 10 minutes to the garage? TNX in advance, BAvner.[/img]

Is your's a diesel.it sounds like you have water in your filter,drain some out by opening the little tape on the bottom of your fuel filter then push the black knob on top of the filter up and down until you fill the pressure build.Drive home with out reving it to much and change the filter

Make no mistake, work cars drive faster, handle more rugged trips, carry excessive loads constantly, break sharper, handle corners faster, run at higher temps, live without cleaning, tyres and oil only need checking at service time, and warning signals can be ignored. It is how they are designed.

Hire cars do the same and some by about 20%
