Toyota Tacoma 1996 Instruction Manual page 55

(d) Low Oil Pressure Warning Light
This light warns that the engine oil pres-
sure is too low.
If it flickers or stays on while you are driving,
pull off the road to a safe place and stop the
engine immediately. Call a Toyota dealer or
qualified repair shop for assistance.
The light may occasionally flicker when
the engine is idling or it may come on brief-
ly after a hard stop. There is no cause for
concern if it then goes out when the en-
gine is accelerated slightly.
The light may come on when the oil level
is extremely low. It is not designed to indi-
cate low oil level, and the oil level must be
checked using the level dipstick.
NOTICE
Do not drive the vehicle with the
warning light on—even for one
block. It may ruin the engine.
(e) Low Fuel Level Warning Light
This light comes on when the fuel level in
the tank becomes nearly empty. Fill up the
tank as soon as possible.
(f) Malfunction Indicator Lamp
This lamp comes on in the following
cases.
a. The fuel tank is completely empty. (See
"Fuel gauge" in Chapter 1-5 for instruc-
tions.)
b. The fuel tank cap is not tightened se-
curely. (See "Fuel tank cap" in Chapter
1-2 for instructions.)
c. There is a problem somewhere in your
engine or automatic transmission electri-
cal system.
If it comes on while you are driving in case
c, have your vehicle checked/repaired by
your Toyota dealer as soon as possible.
(g) "ABS" Warning Light
This light warns that there is a problem
somewhere in your anti-lock brake sys-
tem.
If the light comes on while you are driving,
have your vehicle checked by your Toyota
dealer as soon as possible.
The light will come on when the ignition
key is turned to the "ON" position. After
about 3 seconds, the light will go off.
When the "ABS" warning light is on (and
the brake system warning light is off), the
brake system operates conventionally but
without anti-lock function.
Vehicles with rear differential lock system—
The anti-lock brake system does not op-
erate when the rear differential is locked.
It is normal operation for the "ABS" warn-
ing light to be on at this time.
(h) SRS Airbag Warning Light
This light will come on when the igni-
tion key is turned to the "ACC" or "ON"
position. After about 6 seconds, the
light will go off. This means the airbag
system is operating properly.
The warning light system monitors the air-
bag sensor assembly, inflator, warning
light, interconnecting wiring and power
sources.
If either of the following conditions occurs,
this indicates a malfunction somewhere in
the parts monitored by the warning light
system. Contact your Toyota dealer as
soon as possible to service the vehicle.
S The light does not come on when the
ignition key is turned to the "ACC" or
"ON" position or remains on.

(i) Light Reminder Buzzer
This buzzer will sound if the driver's door
is opened while the ignition switch is
turned to the "LOCK" position with the
headlight switch on. Removing the key will
not stop the buzzer as long as the head-
light switch is on.
