Warnings in Japanese. - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

The dash on my '94 Soarer 4.0 GT is displaying a warning but it's in Japanese.
On start-up it runs the safety checks OK but as soon as I apply the brake "Bong-bong" and the warning is back.

Does anyone have a list of the translations, please? Is there a reset procedure for such warnings.?

Cheers Wonger,
The brake lights do work but I want to check if there are two bulbs in each side as there are on some Hondas. It's minus 3 degrees C and dark so it will have to wait.

Sorted the problem

.
Importing the car to UK requires a rear FOG LAMP so the popular fix is to divert the feed to the inner two BRAKE LAMPS via an accessory switch on the dashboard. However, the car detects the lower resistance and triggers the lamp-out alarm. To out-smart it, a second set of 21W bulbs are hidden in the boot (trunk). One of these had blown!
