D Empty fuel tank
If the fuel tank is empty, refuel immediately.
D Loose fuel tank cap
If the fuel tank cap is loose, securely tighten it.
These cases are temporary malfunctions. The malfunction
indicator lamp will go off after taking several driving trips.
If the lamp will not go off even after the several trips, contact
your Lexus dealer as soon as possible.
If the fuel tank is not empty or the fuel tank cap is not
loose...
D There is a problem somewhere in the engine, emission
control system, electronic throttle control system, automatic
transmission electrical system or warning light system itself.
Contact your Lexus dealer as soon as possible to service the
vehicle.
If the engine speed does not increase with the accelerator
pedal depressed down, there may be a problem somewhere
in your electronic throttle control system.
At this time, vibration may occur. However, if you depress the
accelerator pedal more firmly and slowly, you can drive your
vehicle at low speeds. Have your vehicle checked by your
Lexus dealer as soon as possible.
Even if the abnormality of the electronic throttle control system
is corrected during low speed driving, the system may not be
recovered until the engine is stopped and the ignition key is
turned to "ACC" or "LOCK" position.

CAUTION
Be especially careful to prevent erroneous pedal
operation.
Emissions Inspection and Maintenance (I/M) programs
Your vehicle may not pass a state emission inspection if the
malfunction indicator lamp remains on. Contact your Lexus
dealer to check your vehicle's emission control system and
OBD (On Board Diagnostics) system before taking your
vehicle for the inspection.
For details, see "Emissions Inspection and Maintenance (I/M)
programs" on page 293.
(i) "ABS" Warning Light
Vehicles without vehicle skid control system—
The light comes on with the ignition key turned to the "ON"
position. If the anti lock brake system works properly, the light
turns off after a few seconds. Thereafter, if the system
malfunctions, the light comes on again.
When the "ABS" warning light is on (and the brake system
warning light is off), the anti lock brake system does not
operate, but the brake system still operates conventionally.
When the "ABS" warning light is on (and the brake system
warning light is off), the anti lock brake system does not
operate so that the wheels could lock up during a sudden
braking or braking on slippery road surfaces.
