yes
Yes, on some vehicles it can.
Possible, but not likely. The check engine light is mainly for emission failures not fluid levels. Have it checked for codes to know the cause.
if your vehicle has computers, this can cause check engine light to come on,as a coolant leak ends up sending trouble message to computer
this is normal for this engine, in fact anything short will trip a check engine light. the cause will be a low coolant condition, a thermostat stuck in the open position or a bad coolant sensor. this is normal for this engine, in fact anything short will trip a check engine light. the cause will be a low coolant condition, a thermostat stuck in the open position or a bad coolant sensor.
The engine coolant temp sensor can do that. If you have a check engine light on, have the codes read.
Check the engine coolant... Is it full? yes coolant level is full
No, oil level does not cause the check engine light.
Yes, an unplugged sensor can cause a check engine light.
The engine is overheating. The check engine light is not on because you have no problem with the emissions system which this light monitors.
It depends on what you mean by going off and on. If it happens like a flashing light (check engine) It will not be low coolant. It usually mean that you have a random missfire and that it is bad enough of a missfire that it is damaging your catalytic converter. You need to get to an auto parts store that will check your trouble codes.
It is possible that a check engine light on a Toyota Highlander will come on if the coolant level is low. Usually, though, there is another light that will come on that says 'low coolant' on some older Toyota's.
Is it a fish smell or a rotten egg smell ? FISH SMELL COULD BE A BAD HEATER CORE, THIS WOULD CAUSE YOU NOT TO HAVE HEAT IN THE CAR , BUT IT MIGHT NOT CAUSE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON UNLESS MAYBE CAR IS LOW ON COOLANT. ( THERE MIGHT BE A LOW COOLANT SENSOR TO TRIGGER CHECK ENGINE LIGHT) ROTTEN EGG SMELL COULD BE A CLOGGED CATALYTIC CONVERTER , WHICH WOULD CAUSE THE OXYGEN SENSOR TO TRIGGER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, BUT IT WOULDN'T CAUSE THE LOSS OF HEAT.
