Default "replace bulb" Indicator light on dash

I searched and found little help.

The "replace bulb" indicator light on the dashof my 99 GS300 came on yesterday, so I pulled over and checked all the lights on the car. None of them appear to be out. I checked head lights (high & low beam), blinkers, reverse lights, and all 3 brake lights. All are working, yet the dash light is still on.

Is there a way to "reset" the computer? Disconnect the battery? Any ideas?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

David

When you turn on the headlights, did you also check all the tailights and license plate lights? The brake light bulb (not the high mount one) contains 2 filaments, one for the brake light, and one for the tailight when headlights are on. I had the broken bulb warning on my '01 ES before, and found out the tailight filament in one of my brake bulbs was shot. Replaced the bulb, and no more warning.

thanks for the tip. I checked the tail lights, but I'll double check those, and the license plate bulbs as well.

thanks again!
