exclamation light is on and stays on yellow
 

i'm reading that there's a malfunction and i'll take it to the dealership as soon as i can, however i was wondering if anyone had an issue like this, i'm at 8700 miles and no mods, i've only had the rear creaking issue and the homelink mirror fall off multiple times.

I'm pretty sure you are talking about the TPMS. It just means one of your tires is low on air.

Edit, if it's the light that is by itself in the analog speedo, then it's just the TPMS. If it's the other one under the gas gauge, take it to the dealer.

thanks, i'm pretty sure it's not the cel light and i'll go ad some air to the tires

You may have to drive it a few miles for it to reset itself after you air up.

I lol'd at this

Is it the one on the lower left below the high beams? Then yeah - TPMS.

They should offer some kind of documentation that is included with any vehicle purchase that explains all these little lights.

How absurd that no auto manufacture does this.

It's insane that nobody provides things like manuals these days. It's like they just expect us all to understand the products inside and out without any documentation!

It'd have too many pages that we'd just never read anyway. gosh.

I will say this light threw me at first, never having it before....that and it being 5am and having just changed the oil the afternoon before. But then I found some novel that hinted in very cryptic phrasing what it might pertain to.

LMFAO @ this thread. Must be a troll post. How can you mistaken the "!" for a CEL, I mean the CEL has a picture of an engine and the words "CHECK" underneath it.

RTFM

I believe this "document" is called the owners manual. You should try reading it.

its explained in the owners manual.

TLDR

I'm pretty sure he was being sarcastic...

Ah...I had my sarcasm filter enabled.

"Pretty" sure? I'm not certain I could have made it more obvious! :)

damn this thread has gone epic.

as far as i read, the manual did not specifically mention the TPMS, but yeah, added air to my tires and i'm good.

Table of Contents, 2-2 Instrument Cluster, pg. 151
turn a few pages, don't see it...new section Indicators and Warning Lights
next page has a picture, says turn to pg. 304
turn a few pages of the Warning Lights section, BAM there it is.

Of course the simpler method would have been the index, under T, then Tire pressure warning system.

Now, if only manuals would have sections listed and categorized alphabetically for easy locating, that would be cool :)

My little sister (20) pulled over and refused to driver her new corolla because of the tpms warning. I can see it being a scary light with an exclamation point and all for some folks.

I traded my old car because of constant CEL issues and the third morning I drove this car the TPMS light came on. After letting out a flurry of obscenities for a mile, I pulled into a parking lot and looked up what it meant in my rune translator and had a decent laugh about it. I was certain I was going to have to have it towed to the dealer on my first drive to work in it.

Owner's manual is fun to read. You never know what your car is capable of.

I personally hate TPMS. i have other vehicle that has TPMS and sensor died and ! is always on. how much per sensor? $180 / unit. am i going to replace it? no. It's just little annoying that i see ! on dashboard

My question is why is mine only on when the temp is below 50? pressures are good
all the way around. light stays on. Really annoying.

Because of Boyle's Law, PV=NRT

As the temp goes down, so does the pressure.

Mine did it when we had a cold snap in early winter. Once I drove for a few miles, it turned off.

Tire pressure fluctuate when the weather fluctuate. So cold weather can cause the tire pressure to be lower and lose more air.

Hate that light. Never put the sensor in my winter rims and its been on for every km i ever drove (~15000). Cant wait for summer!

i thought that means im not driving fast enough?

Lmao. I thought it meant "STOP!! Your tires can't handle this crap much longer. Upgrade douche"

Yeah. I thought my car called me a douche.

I agree. The 2014 BRZ manual says you have to pull the latches inside the trunk to lower the rear seat, then warns you not to lower the rear seat while driving.

This has been happening to me since I got the car in February. This is the first car that I have had this happen with. When I took to the dealer for the chirping I told them about it and they said they checked it and their was nothing wrong. Next day I get ready to go to work and guess what light is on inside the dash...:thumbdown:
