I don't have an owners manual. I have a 2004 LS 430. A red triangle with exclamation mark in the middle just lit up on my dash. What does that mean?

 

it means take it to dealer... btw how long since last service?

 

Probably tire pressure indicator? Its saying its low... I have a similar warning light on my Titan truck.

 

there should be a message in the display indicating what that triangle is on for... like... brake wear... low tire pressure... maintenance required... etc...

 

You can download a pdf copy of the owners manual from the Lexus web site. Or, as owner, I think you can get them to mail you a hard copy free.

Check it out.

 

That red triangle is different than the "check engine" light which is your normal indicator that looks like an engine. The red triangle is warning light for things like low tire pressure, battery low (for key), brakes on, etc. If no one posts yet, I'll post later from the manual what that light covers. There was an extensive list (about 10 items I think) that it covered.

 

It has red triangle with exclamation mark and to the left it says maint reqd. It doesn't specifically say if there is an actual problem.

 

I think it is tied to when you are suppose to have a service done. It popped on because I was within miles of needing an oil change.

 

It would be more accurate if a green "$" popped up.

 

This is a caution light and will alert you on various reasons my reason was low wiper washer fluid, but if when that light appears you pay attention to the message center (odometer reading) it will tell you what the problem is. Wow dont ya just love your Lexus.

Would not ever be my first choice given the steep prices. Except warranty services, dealer is not the best option for a 13 year old car..... Find a reputable with references independent...... Yelp or other review options will help with the selection.

 

Well since it's been more than 8 years since the OP has been on the board I somehow think he won't respond to your answer...

We have a winner!!!

 

LOL very true!

 

I'm having the same problem, and have also found that it says maintenance required, but doesn't specify what that maintenance is...?!?
There doesn't seem to be a way to get the message centre to relay the specific information to you, or is there?
(If not, it would seem like a clossal waste of time to have to take it to the dealer just to find out that it's windshield wiper fluid, battery or tire pressure.)

 

There is a simple process to re-set your maintenance interval reminder, there's a youtube video out there somewhere.
