Greetings all,

Just double checking, I know its not the oil light because thats red with the drip from the tea pot. This one came on and I think its the low coolant warning light. Its yellow and its the tea pot and it has a squiggly line underneath.

Hello,

Here you can find the OEM owners manual for your vehicle, the "yellow tea pot" light you are referring to is probably a Low Oil warning light. There are two Oil Warning lights in the car, the red one is for the Low Pressure. Check your Oil Level as soon as possible.

Hope this helps and best of luck!

Thank you so much!!!! i Googled everything imaginable to find what that light meant!!!! preciate it!!

Good Afternoon,

Could you provide the link to the whole manual for the 94 ES 300?

marjaz

I checked the oil this morning and its right where its supposed to be! Full. I dont know why that light came on but it went back off.

Arsenii

Well that's odd, maybe your Lexus found a way to recuperate the lost oil..? There is a separate sensor that checks the oil level, which may be going bad, but I've never seen one fail before.. In any case, make sure to keep an eye on it, just in case..

For your specific car, the manual is split into chapters. Here is a link to the official Lexus Resource page where you can find all available chapters of the owners manual, just select your year, make and model in a Select a Vehicle section.

Hope this helps and best of luck!

Good morning, Ive been keeping an eye on the oil level and its been good and full every time I check it and I even went on a 2 and a half hour trip both ways and the light was on and it went off for a bit and it came back on..... it was time for an oil change and I've changed the oil and filled it back up and the lightbis still on........where would I find that separate sensor that checks the oil level? probably in the oil pan huh?

That sensor is known to go bad, you will love the price.

If your engine has good oil pressure* then remove the bulb from the cluster (remove battery negative terminal first if you do this).

*if possible get this checked with a pressure gauge.

It’s very possible the wires going to the sensor may be damaged as they’re next to all the pulleys.

100% forgot about this. The insulation dries out and cracks and the wires break off. Same thing happens to the oil pressure sending unit aka idiot light sensor. I did work on an ES where the sensor was bad I put a junkyard part in.

Hey thank you very much for this information because it all makes perfect sense. If all of the sensors are near the pulley, the engine has been leaking for a good while. Its leaking where if they take it apart to fix the leak, they may as well change the water pump and timing belt while they have it open. so I know its probably rotted and dried out in that area.
