Lexus IS Dashboard Light Symbols

Dashboard warnings on your Lexus IS depend on the Lexus Problem. It could be an indicator light for ABS, airbag, engine light or something else. There are many reasons why the dashboard shows warning lights and below is a list of the lights on the dashboard. You might need to buy a scanner online which will show Lexus trouble codes & reset the warning light for good! This information can also be found in the Lexus IS owners PDF manual.

Lexus IS engine warning light - the engine symbol lamp can illuminate on your Lexus for a wide range of reasons, some of the reasons people do not think about generally are that the gas tank is completely empty, the fuel cap is not secure, or there could be a more obvious fault such as a faulty sensor like the camshaft sensor, crankshaft sensor, mass airflow meter, ignition coil etc. You can diagnose the engine warning light by using the Lexus iCarsoft i905 which will give you fault codes and allow you to clear them, which will also clear the warning light on the dash (providing the fault has been fixed)

Lexus IS check engine warning light - depending on your location. The meaning of this engine warning lamp is the same as above.

Lexus IS airbag warning light - the airbag symbol lamp on your Lexus IS will only illuminate if there is an open circuit or fault within the airbag system. Generally it could be a loose connection or sensor that needs to be looked at, but it could be more serious. You can locate the airbag fault by using the Lexus iCarsoft i905 kit which will locate the fault and allow you to clear the error codes and remove the dash light, providing the fault has been fixed.

Lexus IS ABS warning light - the ABS symbol lamp will illuminate on the dash of your IS if the module has found a fault. The fault will generally be because of a faulty ABS sensor, however sometimes the ABS module can fail and need replacing. The exact location of the fault can be found by diagnosing the system with the Lexus iCarsoft i905 it will clear the problem code once the fault has been fixed and allow you to clear the airbag warning lights for the ABS.

Lexus IS traction control warning light - the ESP or traction symbol lamp will flash when driving over surfaces such as snow or ice, and will try to obtain the best possible traction for your Lexus, if there is a fault within this system the warning light will remain permanently on and can be diagnosed by using the Lexus iCarsoft i905. It will allow you to clear & reset error codes from this system and remove the dash warning light for the traction system.

Lexus IS TRAC OFF warning light - the TRAC OFF symbol lamp indicates that the traction control system has been de-activated, in conditions such as snow or ice your traction system will not work to try and get the best possible traction on the road.

Lexus IS open door warning light - the open door symbol lamp simply means that a door is open somewhere within the vehicle and you should check the doors before you continue your journey.

Lexus IS oil warning light - the oil symbol lamp will illuminate when the engine oil sensor detects that the oil level is too low. You should top up your oil levels. To make sure you are using the correct oit - take a look at our correct oil guide for your vehicle.

Lexus IS BRAKE warning light - the BRAKE symbol lamp might illuminate with the ABS light because of a faulty ABS sensor, if this lights up alone, you might need to check your brake fluid levels and top up accordingly.
