depending on how old your car is, it could be a bad pcm, or it could be some crossed wires.
It is not a warning light. The DRL stands for Daytime Running Lights and will always be on unless you turn on your dashboard lights.
If you are wondering why this happens, it is completely normal. When you turn your key all the way to start the car, all the warning lights will come on do perform a lamp test. Also, the computer runs a quick test on all the sensors in the car and on all the lights on the dash to make sure everything is operating properly, once you start the car, these lights should all go out. If there are lights remaining lit on your dash, it may mean that your car needs to be serviced, always get warning lights checked if they come on while the car is running. Hope this helps!
Probably the dash fuse is blown, or the dimmer switch for the dash lights is bad!
There are several reasons why a Toyota's warning lights may come on. The lights may come because there is a problem with the engine, low oil, or even bad brakes.
Which lights?
it could be a faulty alternator bring on all lights
It is normal if other lights come on at the same time. All of the reminder/warning lights should come on when ignition is in idle (key's in ignition, but the car is not running)
By "OFF," I have to assume that your question means that the ignition switch is "ON", but the engine is not running. IF that is what your question means, then the reason the engine warning lights turning on is that the manufacturer designed the system that way to show you that those warning circuits and lights are working, and ready to warn you after you start the engine, should there be a failure in one of the systems they represent.
On vehicles with Daytime Running Lights, (DRL) yes.
The running lights have a bad ground.
Warning lights on a 2008 Honda Accord include the gas light and the check engine light. There is also lights that come on when doors are open.
It depends on what lights, did you turn on a switch, open a door, If they are dash warning lights, you have a malfunction.
