Typically, the ECU (engine computer) receives input from a variety of sensors and turns on the check engine light (CEL), which should prompt the owner to get the codes scanned to find the cause of the light being turned on. There is no fuse for the light itself; you simply might have a burned out bulb. Turn your key to 'on'; the CEL should come on with the other dash lights that you would see before starting the vehicle (like the ABS, charge, brake, and oil lights for example). You can obtain a copy of the factory service manual (FSM) online via www.techinfo.Toyota.com for your vehicle for maintenance and troubleshooting reference.
you pee on it
i have a 2007 carolla that has been fully services and the check engine light is still on. there is nothing wrong with it.. How do I get it off?
If the VSC flashing light comes on at the same time on your Toyota Corolla, then there might be a sensor issue, and if you have a warranty, have it back to the manufacturer.
disconnect battery for 1 min
To reset the check engine light in your 2006 Toyota Corolla, you will need to attach the car to a diagnostic computer. This allows you to pinpoint the reason for the light coming on, select the correct sensor, and reset the light.
Try unhooking your battery cables for a few minutes. That usually works for me.
I did not tighten the gas cap good....Sounds crazy but i have that several times...
Could be one of a thousand things. Go to a shop and have them read the error code.
Here a answer maybe CHECK THE ENGINE:) the light will go off
You reset the check engine light with an OBD2 scan tool. But first you must repair the problem that caused it to come on. If not it will just come back on again. There is a problem that is effecting emissions.
Depends on which light you are referring to. The "Check Engine" light comes on when there is a problem with the emissions system. The "Maintenance Required Light" comes on when scheduled maintenance is required as outlined in your owners manual.
Go to Autozone or Advance Auto and borrow their OBD2 scanner and reset it. Easy and free to use
