Question Please tell me what that triangle indicator does!

I have swaped my gauges for TL-s ones and fixed the problem with the VSA TCS issue. I ws wondering what that yellow triangle is for on the fuel temp gauge. When does it light up for you guys? Thanks

That's the VSA indicator (exclamation point in the center of it). If you switch off VSA, it lights up solid. If VSA is on and activated by your driving, the indicator will blink while VSA is working its magic.

oh I see. Thanks, one more question. So then does the VSA word light up also when you shut it off, like our TCS on 2000 TL's does?

Thanks for the help everyone. I got the VSa and the triangle to work exactly like it does on the TL-S. I really happy because I didn't want that big triangle there if it never lights up.

hey, in case you're still wondering...

the VSA sign on the left only turns on a few second when you start the car...I guess it's a 'testing the system' thing...

when the " ! " flashes it indicates it's being executed right this moment.

and the " ! " is 'on' when you've turn off VSA

city001 - I guess I used the wrong word...I should say 'active', no 'on'. Like the ABS, it will be on when you need it, but you can turn it off if you desire.

if it's 'on', if means you've turn it off.
if it's flashing, that means the VSA in doing it's wonders.
