The rear taillight burned out light came on in my 97 sc300 came on so I replaced the burned out bulb. The dash light stayed on. I then replaced all the bulbs in that taillight. Dash light still on. Owners manual was no help.
It's seems to say it should go out when the bulb is replaced. All bulbs light including brake light.

Is there a way to reset the dash indicator?


Any help will be greatly appreciated!!!!!!!!!

 

When in doubt, reboot.

Disconnect the battery for about half an hour. Everything will reset - clock, trip meters, radio presets, seat memory, even the fuzzy logic in the ECU. Maybe the lamp monitor will reset too.

 

take out the cluster and remove that bulb. wont have to see it again

 

Yup that's what I did.....I don't miss the little yellow car

 

does the little yellow car show up if the 92-96 cars upgrade to 97+ tail lights, or is hyperblink the only issue?

 

Hyper Blink and the little yellow car. I still have hyper blink but it doesn't bother me

 

rats, I thought i'd be done with the little yellow after I reconnect my in-car third brake light, guess not! Time to do some surgical bulb removal

 

mine comes on like on the clock once every 8 days . i just turn off and on the car, and it goes away. I checked for burnt out bulbs, and nothing. And I've reset the ecu. So i may just take the bulb out.

 

Me to. best mod i have ever done.lol

Try and see if your third brake light bulb it out.

 

The taillight burned out bulb warning on my '97 sc300 lit up. A bulb was out on the passenger side taillight so I replaced all three bulbs on that side 'cause
the taillight is such a pain to remove. All the taillights work but dash indicator won't goout. The owners manual was no help.

Can anyone help? It will be greatly appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am getting this light every few days. shut the car off and it goes away. could be next day or 10 days, will be driving along and it comes on. Is tehre a bulb out or just a short somewhere?

 

make sure all the connections are clean. Sometimes the connectors get corroded and then cause this type of thing. Also make sure the harness connections behind the rear panel in the trunk are properly plugged in everywhere and not loose
