Anyone know what this red dash warning light is?

[Bmonck]

It’s on lower left hand side of row of warning lights. Came on flickering when I was driving a long drive. Not in my manual. (Excuse the drawing I am on the road)
Many thanks

I would guess that to be traction control related , what are you driving ?

 

[Shayne]

And apparently it flashes when it kicks in to improve traction .

Emergency bacon release

Sorry was high speed post at a short break driving in a convoy.
I am in a TLC80 doing about 70mph on a dry motorway, steady speeds.
I don’t think it’s traction control. I wish it was an emergency bacon sarnie!!
It is not shown in the owners manual I have but I got that after the car so they may not match.
I have never seen it light up eg pre ignition and none of the TLC folks I am with recognise it either.
Any other ideas from anyone ?
Thanks all.

Agree with Shayne, could it be an abs wheel speed sensor fault ?

 

[Bmonck]

Should have said I don’t have ABS on my truck

 

[Shayne]

Do you have a catalytic converter ?

 

[Tractionman]

It's been nicked Shayne.

 

[Shayne]

Just used a torch to see all my manual 80 cluster warning lights and nothing resembles that .

 

[Bmonck]

Yes I have never seen / noticed it before. My car is an import and I suppose that might make a difference.
If it comes on again tomorrow I will try to take a photo
And I have no catalytic converter fitted.

As with Shayne, The only resembling symbol i found on IHMUD, is either Slip indicator or Cat overheat What is this dash light? - [Leaving Land Cruiser Club] If this is the symbol????

 

[Shayne]

Maybe EU spec came with a slow down light

 

[Bmonck]

So the instrument cluster was changed at some point from km to mileage. I wonder if a petrol dash was put in and that has come from a car with a catalytic converter ??

 

[Tractionman]

In that case then, why would the switch be wired and working, as your truck would have no need for it ?

 

[Shayne]

Its not difficult to remove the cluster pull the bulbs and shine a torch into the holes lighting up everything .

 

[Bmonck]

Yes will shine a torch when we get home. And post the image
Maybe it is not connected but was shorting hence the flickering ?

 

[Shayne]

Your drawing resembles maybe a car from above so if your still on the road it might be worth having a look at the rear right wheel and caliper .

 

[Shayne]

Some 80's got an LSD rear axle ?

 

[Dave_S]

Any of these?!?
