Whats this?

Well this is my first noob question, I've tried finding a helms or chiltons but the oriellys and autozone dont have any at the store for some reason?

I have an icon on the top left of my dash showing a car that would appear to be a burning out or blowing exhaust out of the back. Looks like a traction control light or something. I dont have traction control and its always on no matter which settings the ECT is at? Thanks in advance, Im sure this is something super simple but I have yet to find it.

edit: I have a 92 sc300, bone stock besides the koyo radiator.

I think you're referring to the "bulb out" warning light. Turn on your park lights and check if there's a ligh missing.

Yea that could be but I just passed inspection yesterday so I hope they werent tire kickers.. I'll check that and report back. If it is this, does it reset itself and clear the issue or do I have to follow a method to clear it?

Edit: Are those lights your referring to the little wedge bulb in the headlight that are in between the headlight bulb and the turn signal? If so, thats def the issue, neither one is ever on.

The warning light is for the rear, since you don't really see your rear.

Werd man. Mine does it every once in a while. It's your warning light telling you a back light is out. Sometimes turning them on and off at a roll will clear it. At least that's what happens with mine

OP said 92, not 2012. Most of the owners manuals are distant memories
