Warning Lights

[MADBULL]

FJ 07 voodoo blue, it drove fine up to 32,000 miles and just one morning all the warning lights are on and won't come off ? Any Ideas?

Thanks for your help..

I have heard from others on the forum that this can happen when your tire alignment is out in a big way. PM SKERZFAN. He had that happen and got it fixed. My sense is that it looks (all the lights) worse than it is.

Too many possibilities to say from a distance, but the "christmas tree" lights usually come from electrical problems (blown alternator or serpentine belt, etc.) in my Toyota experience. Buy an OBDII scanner for a few bucks and read the code(s) yourself, or take it back to the dealer - it is still under warranty, no?

Christmas tree lights!!!

Somebody posted something about severe alignment problems causing a similar reaction but I can't find it on "search".

Invest in the ScanGuage II Group Buy - as 1911 suggested. It does let you know precisely what is wrong.

But for now, I don't know what to suggest except taking it into the stealership.

i was going to say, if you did, make sure all the connections are tight. Mine came lose one day on the trail and my dash was full of lights. You could disconnect the battery for 10 seconds and see if they go away.

If 10 seconds doesn't do the trick, try 5-10 minutes to reset the ecu.
