    It's just the temperature sensor for your catalytic converter. It's either faulty or your cat is plugged either way you can replace it with a generic sensor or just ground out the single connector and the light will go out

    Hi, I actually have the same/similar issue with both the battery light and the temp light will come on when I either, press the brakes (engine will rev a little as well), turn on the headlights or try the horn. Otherwise the lights will remain off. The brakes work, but the horn and headlights will not turn on. I have heard that these are tied to the 30A fuse off of the battery, (which I replaced with no luck). Any idea as to what would cause this issue? Seems like something electrical and I have checked all obvious wiring.

    Check all your fuses.

    Hey Gang,
    I recently got a 1992 Subaru Sambar KV3 van. Totally groovin' car. I've never worked on these cars/engines before (I'm an old Porsche & BMW guy). I've been checking out the engine and changing oil/fluids. Yesterday I changed the oil in the supercharger (AMR300). I was very careful not to overfill it. The dipstick is really difficult to read. Now the supercharger warning light, on the dash, has come on. I double checked the oil level and it looks OK. I am bumfuzzled. Any ideas?

    There is no "supercharger warning" light. Can you show a photo of it, or give a description of what this light looks like?

    Here's a photo. Maybe I called it the wrong thing.

    Adios!

    I am curious if that is some form of boost indicator light. I have a 1990 but it has a different style boost light

    That indicator is the rear defroster. There is a switch on the dash to turn it on and off.

    Well...I'll slap my forehead until I look like a Neanderthal!
    That light on my dash, right below "Super Charger" is the rear defrost indicator.
    I'm guessing my grandson has been pushing buttons and flipping switches again!
    Ayaaaah!
