Pull over and park when it is safe to do so. Turn engine off. If you are not a mechanic call for help. Otherwise open the hood, wait a couple minutes, pull engine oil dipstick. Take notice of engine oil level reading on dipstick. If the dipstick reading shows nothing, do not drive any further until you can add oil. If the dipstick shows you have oil, you may want to have your car towed home. If you continue to drive the vehicle with the low oil pressure light on you may destroy the engine.

generally speaking the warning light is to catch y0ur attention if you are not looking at the gauges. check the symbol on the warning light and check the corresponding gauge. as they work together, for example if the oil warning light comes on that means the oil pressure is dangerously low and the oil pressure gauge will register little or no oil pressure also.

Why would the Exclamation sign with brackets around it light come on in a 2004 Toyota solara?

That's your low tire pressure warning. Quoting from page 135 of your owner's manual: The light warns that the tire inflation pressure of any one of the tires is critically low. If the light comes on while driving, adjust tire inflation pressure to the specified level. That recommended pressure (32 psi cold) is also in your owner's manual. To reset the light, press the button on the lower left portion of the dash (near your left knee). Hold the button and watch the (!) light flash several times. When it stops flashing the system is reset. Note, on the '04 the pressure warning system is 'not' connected to the spare tire so check that one periodically too. If the tire pressure warning comes on frequently it's a good indication you have a slow leak needing repair. Many tire stores will do that for free along with rotating your tires. Cheers
