My check engine light came on at 102,000 miles. The dealer service dept. says that the diagnostic showed no clear cause(?)but I need new spark plugs ($240),ejectors cleaned, and of course the cost of the diagnostic ($130) The total was around $475. Am I being ripped?? My big question is what will they do to get the light out?? Should I disconnect the battery abnd reset the clock and radio buttons to see if it goes out? Then I can worry again if it comes back on.

I had the same problem on my 4 cylinder TH. After about 6 months, the check engine light would come on, typically after either a gas fill-up or if I made a sharp sudden turn. To get it off I had to open up the gas cap, blow on it once, re-close, and after 3-4 startups it would go away. Eventually I had it in for service one day and they said a diagnostic setting was malfunctioning, and they replaced it for free. net net, try the gas cap for now; ask your dealer next time you are in for service. |

Two months ago I had the exact same issue as the original poster. Fast forward to today..... Having brought my 2002 Toyota V6 AWD with 140,000 miles to my Toyota dealership to check out a simultaneous check engine light and vehicle stability control light, I learned that I would need an oxygen sensor replaced which would cost about $400. I passed on this repair - especially considering I'm looking at possibly not having this vehicle a year from now. The two diagnostic codes received from an OBDII scan tool were: P0125 (Insufficient Coolant Temperature For Closed Loop Fuel Control) and P0136 (Oxygen Sensor Circuit Malfunction - Bank #1 Sensor #2) Any ideas on what short and long term issues I might have not replacing this oxygen sensor?

Replying to: budh (Mar 16, 2007 3:56 pm) Please remember, that the feedback from the O2 sensor will impact your programmed combustion pattern. It could happen that under normal driving conditions the computer can "balance" the faulty (lack of) signal, but under a slow-down or up-hill acceleration it could shut-off the engine. If I were in your situation, I would replace it and drive it for an other 50,000 miles. You have a reliable V-6 AWD SUV - don't give it up so easily! =Andrew
