Low Radiator fluid, high temp, low coolant pressure...probably the first, check your coolant level.

That's actually the carnival button. It tells you when you are close to any carnivals/circus'. Hehe, j/k, it's what UZZ30-SC4 said.

it supposed to mean your low on coolant. It could also mean your sensor is broken and nothing is wrong. The latter is what happened to me.

In that case there must be no speedo needles, alternators, PS pumps, center bearings, LCD's, engine and transmission mounts, MAF's.............

Same stuff actually! even the needles. Mount differently to avoid compatibility, but same SMD's.

The coolant sensor? Its on sc400s only because of their unique (high quality) coolant reservoir. Not sure what year they stopped putting the sensor in but 92s have the light/sensor.
Here is a pic of the ls400 reservior, looks similar to the sc400 one right?
You can see the sensor its yellow and the rubber around it is peeling off. Its the exact same style as on the sc400. Newer model sc400s still have the hole for the sensor, but its capped off.
