What is signified by the Prius master warning plus check engine plus red car symbol coming on a the same time?

Driving about 40mph on level surface road when I heard a beep and noticed the Master Warning Light on, along with the Check Engine light and the Tire Pressure light. The informational display showed "Trouble" followed by a red car symbol in the upper left corner. I was only a mile or so from home so came here, backed into the driveway and turned off the car. Waited a minute and turned it back on, this time the tire pressure light did not come on but the other 3 lights did. Didn't find the owner's manual useful for this, other than the obligatory "take it to a Toyota dealer now" info. I never received my recall notice for the inverted cooling pump but is it possible that's causing these warnings? THANKS for any help! My daughter is leaving town early tomorrow so she won't be able to follow me to the dealership in case there's a problem, and I'm hoping it's safe to drive if I stay off the interstate.

    Okay, problem solved. After more research on the web, it appeared that the inverter coolant pump must have actually failed, and as it was under recall but I never received the notice, I had to tow my Prius to the dealer for a new pump. Now I just have to get Toyota to pay for the tow!

these cars have problems with bad oil pressure warning switches you may have someone put an oil pressure gauge on the car and make sure your pressure is within spec and go ahead and change the sender if it checks out please rate -jeff

SOURCE: Tire pressure warning light stays on all the time for no reason

The tire pressure monitor must be re-calibrated, this is a dealer only repair, no one else will touch it, these systems are very trouble prone.

SOURCE: low tire pressure light won't stay off after proper reset.

Some newer Toyota vehicles have a sensor in the spare tire. Tires loose air over time naturally. I would check out the spare.
When did this TPS light start coming on?
Have you had new tires put on, or had a flat repair done before the light?

SOURCE: need to disable tire pressure warning light. Air pressure normal

You cannot "disable" the TPWS. Also, when you replace sensors, they need to be programmed to the TPWS computer.

Why does my darango shut off while driving?

If it's an exclamation point inside a triangle, it's called a master warning symbol. This is the Master Warning Light symbol. If this light is on, there will likely be text displayed as well on the instrument panel, or another warning light. Look for text in particular. It could very well point out something as serious as low oil pressure. If the engine is not running, you can't very well check your gauges, but you may have lost all oil pressure or overheated the engine. Recommend you consult a mechanic familiar with your model.

What does it mean warning light TRIANGLE WITH SNOW on TOYOTA PRIUS 20 dashboard

Hello,
There is absolutely nothing wrong with your car. It's actually keeping you safe! If the outside ambient temperature is +37F or lower, your car knows this and gives a warning for possible black ice conditions. Lots of people wonder the same thing, next time it shows the warning, note the outside temp to see if it's below +37F.

I hope this info helps!

Either take it to a autoparts store and they will turn it off or disconnect the battery for five minutes and the computer will reset. If it comes back on your local auto parts representative can harmlessly run a code check on it to see what the problem is.

Warning lights

On a Prius, when the check engine light comes on it indicates a malfunction in the powertrain control system. You need to have the car scanned for codes to see where the fault lies. The red triangle lights because the check engine light is on. The VSC is disabled when the check engine light is on and that light comes on.
Start with having the car scanned.

2003 Prius Hybrid System Warning Light

My Toyota Prius hybrid warning light has come on three times in eight years. If I turn the car off for 20 minutes, the hybrid light is off but the check engine light is on. After a while, the check engine light goes off. I think this problem is related to moisture somehow entering the hybrid vent on the driver's side. All three times this has happened, the weather was wet. Kevin Cardiff
