Triangle warning of death comes on. It's a
Hi
Did you check the brake fluid level? If low, buy a new container of DOT3 brake fluid and replenish as needed. This fluid will dissolve paint, so do not spill it. Also check the radiator and inverter coolant levels by looking at the translucent reservoirs behind the radiator and next to the inverter. If low, fill with Toyota Super Long Life Coolant.However this is an indication that the 12v auxiliary battery is discharging and needs to be replaced. To properly diagnose you will have to see is there is fault codes stored in the transmission module for low voltage supply; this is usually done at a dealer. What is happening is the 12 volt battery probably does not have enough power to operate the 12 volt park prowl and therefor is telling you to park on a level surface and apply the e-brake to the car from rolling away. If you don't want to bring to a dealer and the battery has never been replaced, try replacing battery first, this is located in the passenger side trunk area.

This is the security indicator light. Designed to alert potential theives that the alarm is active. It is a L.E.D. lamp, and will not drain the aux battery. Nothing to worry about, this is normal. Hope this helps, and Thanks for choosing FixYa!
My 2007 Prius Maintenance Required light is on. It
This is a scheduled check-up programed into your cars computer. They will put your car on a computer to check the electronics. They do a service on the vehicle. Some of these maintenance are covered under your warranty. Check with you dealership to see if your covered. Dealership make most of their money when they sell you parts( its in the markup). You can call, and they will tell you the prices. You can bring in your own parts, but they will not give any warranty on the work. Usually they will change the oil, and air filter. Change the oil, and check the coolant, an add any if needed. They will make sure the injectors and throttle body is working. Basically, they will give it a complete going over. You can call, and they will tell you what is going to be done. If you don't want to spend the money, your local mechanic can reset the light. The service is up to you. I would call the dealer, and ask first, before you make your mind up. Hope this helps.
