Default What is this dash indicator?



What does that indicator mean on a 1993 SC400 Auto? It's located in lower left hand side of the drivers dash display just to the bottom right of the engine temperature guage.

In fact - it's the one *NOT* circled in red at the bottom left of this photo here:



Can someone look in their factory manual - don't have one available here.

Thank you all very much

it's water temp, notifying you that the needle gauge there is to show you the water temp.

that one circled in the picture is oil level. it lights up when the oil level is low.

Ha - man it's been a crazy week. I still own my SC400, and now also own a supercharged G35 coupe... and between working on BOTH at once somehow... somehow I forgot that this light was always illuminated to *tell* you what that gauge was and wasn't a new warning indicator. Ugh.

Thank you for setting me straight

It tells you that your bacon strips are fully cooked and ready to eat.
