So my wife was driving and this pops up. I will take it to the dealer and see what’s going on since it’s still under warranty. An ideas of this is a big deal??

So do a visual, open the hood and look around with a flashlight. Maybe a hose off, maybe some rodent was snacking on some wires, sometimes the problem is pretty obvious.
I’ll have to check it out
 
What a horribly-non-specific warning... :(

Use anOBD2 reader (or borrow one) and see what codes it shows, if any after doing a scan.

I don’t have one it’s still under warranty I’ll probably take it into the dealership sometimes I don’t know how much I trust them. After I take it in I’ll report back...it’s a 2018 8speed wondering if that has something to do with it
 
I'm relieved to see your oil pressure gauge reads like mine does...always looks low.

It's still under warranty. Take it to the dealer. Not a big deal.

Please let us know the problem the dealer found.

HTH
 
I was thinking of that. Also, that warning is so generic, right out of the manual. Does not mean ignore but the sky is probably not falling.

I can’t speak for other 3UR v8 Toyota’s but all 200-series seem to do this once warmed up. Totally normal.
 
This is most likely your issue. You should have received a recall letter. Check with your dealer.

Warranty aside, most auto parts stores will read your code for free

Any update? Inquiring minds need to know.

TIA
