Answer 1

Sounds like traction control or Antilock brakes

Answer 2

It is definitely the hand brake light. You must have noticed earlier when you used to apply hand brake it was coming on and on release it was off. Now it is ON all the time. The reason being that your handbrake is either sticking somewhere in the rear wheel which has to be adjusted or the sticking part released and lubricated or the handbrake switch inside the car under the handbrake lever is sticking. Not a big job to set the button released which you can do it yourself. It so happens with the switch sticking, a drop of oil with set it right. Of course to adjust and release the wheel mechanism is a bit time consuming. If you have a bit of tools and a little bit of mechanism, having help from some body you can surely clean the assembly and lubricate the lever moving part which sometime becomes sticky with dirt and mud, just cleaning and oiling would make it right. Sometimes the cable near the wheel Assembly is sticking and this is covered with rubber, you have to cut the rubber a bit and pour oil inside this insulation to release same. Take help from someone to press the pedal otherwise you will not notice it whether it is moving or not. Wish you good luck.

Answer 3

if it is a side view of the car it could be a sensor indicating that the trunk or hatch back is open. Take it to a dealership and ask, or check Toyota's web site and see if you can find out there.

If it's orange, it means "uhh, you forgot to do something"
If it's red, it means "You better stop and check this out!"
