Toyota Camry Dashboard Warning Lights Guide in Lombard, IL
At our Service Department, one of the most common questions we receive from Camry owners is about dashboard warning lights. We understand that seeing an unfamiliar symbol illuminate on your dashboard can be concerning. That's why our expert staff members here at Lombard Toyota have put together this guide to help Lombard drivers understand what these lights mean and when they should bring their vehicle in for service.
Check Engine Light
The check engine light is perhaps the most recognizable warning indicator. When this amber-colored engine symbol appears, it indicates that your Camry's onboard diagnostic system has detected an issue with the emissions control system or engine performance. This could range from a loose gas cap to a more serious problem with your catalytic converter or oxygen sensors. We recommend scheduling a diagnostic appointment before resuming your Lombard travels. Our certified technicians will use specialized equipment to read the diagnostic codes and determine the exact cause.
Tire Pressure Warning Light
This horseshoe-shaped light with an exclamation point activates when one or more of your tires is significantly underinflated. Proper tire pressure is crucial for safe handling, fuel efficiency, and tire longevity. If this light appears, check all four tires and inflate them to the recommended PSI listed on the driver's door jamb. If the light remains on after proper inflation, you may have a slow leak or a faulty tire pressure sensor that our service team should inspect.
Oil Pressure Warning Light
If you see a red oil can symbol, pull over safely and turn off your engine immediately. This warning indicates low oil pressure, which can cause severe engine damage if ignored. Check your oil level using the dipstick, and if it's low, add oil before continuing to drive. If the light stays on despite adequate oil levels, have your Camry towed to our Service Center, as this could indicate a failing oil pump or other serious mechanical issue.
Battery/Charging System Light
When the battery symbol illuminates, it doesn't necessarily mean your battery is dead. Instead, it typically indicates a problem with your charging system, which could involve the alternator, battery connections, or drive belt. While you may be able to make a brief trip home from Lilacia Park, we advise you to schedule a service appointment promptly, as a failing charging system will eventually leave you stranded.
Brake System Warning Light
A red brake warning light should never be ignored. This could indicate low brake fluid, worn brake pads, or an issue with your anti-lock braking system. First, check that your parking brake is fully released. If the light remains on, drive cautiously to our Service Center and have your brake system inspected immediately, as this affects your vehicle's primary safety system.
Maintenance Required Light
This light, which looks like a wrench or reads "MAINT REQD," is simply a service interval reminder. It typically illuminates around every 5,000 miles to remind you that routine maintenance is due. While not an urgent warning, keeping up with scheduled maintenance ensures your Camry runs reliably for years to come. Our service advisors can reset this light and perform your recommended maintenance during your visit.
When to Visit Our Service Center
While some warning lights indicate minor issues you can address yourself, others require professional attention. Our experienced Toyota technicians have the training, tools, and genuine Toyota parts needed to diagnose and repair your Camry correctly the first time. We recommend bringing your vehicle in whenever you're uncertain about a warning light or when red-colored warnings appear. Don't hesitate to contact our Service Department with questions about your dashboard warning lights. We're here to keep your Toyota Camry running safely to ensure enjoyable cruises to Madison Meadow.

“ Rude staff. Nobody wants to talk to you ”
“ If I could give this review no stars I would! My sister took her Lexus to fix some cables chewed up due to rodents and not even two weeks later oil spills out from under the hood. She took it back and they said there’s apparently a hole in the engine. Now they would rather not work on it. I knew something was fishy with them and I still have a feeling they messed something up when they first worked under the hood. Do NOT recommend. ”
“ Our salesperson Fernanda Anguiano did a wonderful job, from the moment she greeted us to handing us the keys to the new Supra. She was patient, informative and friendly. Igor Petkovic the sales manager was also very helpful and left the pressure machine off. Thanks for everything, loving the new toy!! ”
