Probably YES, but it will depend on HOW MUCH! If you have completely FILLED the coolant system with it, then NO - drain it completely and refill with the correct solution!
Nothing in wiper fluid is actually harmful to the coolant system, which is all metal and rubber, quite compatible. Too much wiper fluid may just cause excess foaming in the radiator, in which case drain and reflllNothing in wiper fluid is actually harmful to the coolant system, which is all metal and rubber, quite compatible.

I know it doesn't sound like much, but, that is a very nice car that you have, and there are many sensors that could be damaged by the amonia in the washer fluid. This is what I would do.
You don't need to flush the whole cooling system, but, you want to try and empty out the coolant reservoir. You, or some can just pull the hose of the bottom of the reservoir and let it drain, or, some people might use something like a turkey baster to draw the fluid out of the top.
It may not hurt anything, but, I wouldn't want to take a chance unless I absolutely had to.
1. Check oil
2. Check trans fluid
3. Check coolant
4. Check brake fluid
5. Check your belts
6. Check spark plug wires for burnt spots or dry rot
7. Check your hoses
8. Check your tire pressure. <--- Very important
9. Check battery termanals
10. Make sure you dont forget your wife as this could lead to a disaster :)
What color is the smoke ?
Greyish means coolant is leaking into cylinders( Bad Head gasket)
Bluish means oil is leaking into the cylinders
Black means car is running rich.
If greyish look at coolant resivoir for traces of oil ( usually milky kind of substance) could be tranny fluid or motor oil mixing with coolant depending on whether the vehicle is an automatic and if so is the ATF cooler leaking.
keep me posted Good Luck
Power steering fluid - Dexron 2 or 3 automatic transmission fluid. Yes transmission fluid. And while you are at it check the fluid level in the transmission.
Since you got the hood up, check the brake fluid, wiper fluid, radiator fluid, battery fluid, oil level.
Here's a link to Toyota customer service number & a spot where yo can e-mail your questions to Toyota as well. (Just for piece of mind) It kind of threw me off for a minute too, but in their scheduled maintenance, (which should be in your owners manual) they only show fluid changes, as far as I went to 110,000 miles. Perhaps if you, re-post to attention "ToyotaEd" he can shed some light on it for you.
its wiper fluid put some wiper fluid into the reservoir if the light comes back on the sensor is bad it needs to be replaced/ Please rte my response thank you very much
