Pothole Dash Lights

The dealer could plug it in and see what registered in the log. Does yours have TyrePressure Monitors? If so, they could have caused it to go into panic mode. Or if it's come good, wait till next service.

I had a herd of warning Malfunctions on mine when it was 5 or 6 weeks old. I turned it off and on again, it came good. I continued to drive it till next service (4 mths or so). They checked diagnostics and it showed that it had logged an error with BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH. It was a one-off, hence it didn't remind me again. My mechanic said that anything which had any input from that fault would have shown up as a fault - even ones I couldn't see the direct relevance. But the switch was replaced under warranty.

 

Keep in mind you can also make a claim against the city or state for your tires, potholes are an actual claim.

 

Depends what country s/he is in - I think that's only USA. (He's got no profile.)

 

That really sucks. A similar thing happened to me in my previous car. I feel your pain.

All but the steering warning are likely caused by the same single brake system issue, as the other systems mentioned all rely on the brakes.

Seriously though, add I don't mean to state the obvious or come across as arrogant, but what you should absolutely do is get it to your dealer to get properly checked. Braking and steering are critical to safety, and you don't want to see you, the people close to you, or other road users getting killed. Don't second guess the warnings or ignore them. Here, we can all hypothesise as much as we like, even convince you it's probably nothing, but at the end of the day we're not trained Toyota mechanics with the correct tools and physical access to your vehicle.

Again, let responders know roughly where you are (assuming some US State), and they can maybe offer advice on going after the city for compensation.

 

... do you have tyre pressure monitors?

I wouldn't be clearing codes, as, if TOYOTA needs to repair something, they'd depend on the codes being there.

 

My guess would be that TMPS threw the codes. The way the TOYOTA technician described it, when my Brake Light switch showed a single event error, the computer checks anything which has anything to do with braking - like most of the car - and warns about all possible, though unlikely possibilities. I was a long way from the dealership when it happened. He said that if the car starts fine after turning off, there should be no problem - but if the warning continues, then there is something to be cautious about.

I asked him because I was planning (put on hold as my Mum has become very unwell) - an extended touring holiday, and wanted to know what to do if it ever happened again in the middle of nowhere - (or don't-know-where).

 

Thanks for updating us. Glad it was all OK in the end.

 

It could be the new tyres, or rotated tyres?

 

It could be the ABS system throwing codes because the rear wheels were rotating and the fronts were not when it was being towed. The codes would be logged even if cleared and would clear themselves (providing the fault is not present) after a number of on off cycles of the ignition (or starts).
