#8 of 78 Check engine light by jackmick656 Apr 01, 2007 (8:51 am)
Replying to: andrew17 (Mar 20, 2007 4:59 am) 2003 HL V6 28,000 miles:40 miles into a trip the "check engine light" came on, I turned around and came home. HL ran great all the way home. Today is sunday and the dealership's service is closed. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks.

Replying to: jackmick656 (Apr 01, 2007 8:51 am) The check engine light can come on for hundreds of reasons. The first thing to check is whether your gas cap is tight!!! But you can drive for weeks with it on, months perhaps and it won't do you any harm. Just make an appointment to stop in and see what caused the issue. Don't change your life.

Replying to: jackmick656 (Apr 01, 2007 8:51 am) Agree with kdhspider - also, has it been 4,500 to 5,000 miles since your last oil change? Could be the reminder. Replies to this message: jackmick656 (Apr 01, 2007 12:49 pm) jackmick656 (Apr 01, 2007 12:57 pm)

Replying to: gasman1 (Apr 01, 2007 11:21 am) Thanks for the reply, only 2800 mi since last oil change. Since I read reply from kdhspider I re tightened fuel cap, checked and pushed air filter vacuum hose as far as it would go on. After that I disconnected both battery cables and restarted the HL. CEL went off. Took HL for a 40 mile drive and CEL stayed off. Thanks a lot for both of your help. Replies to this message: jackmick656 (Apr 01, 2007 12:57 pm)

Replying to: jackmick656 (Apr 01, 2007 12:49 pm) Another thought, yesterday I gassed up and when the hand nozzle clicked off I tried to squeeze in a few more drops. I know that's a no no and maybe caused the problem.

#15 of 78 4 Runner Check engine light by brutalblonde Jun 03, 2007 (11:41 am)
I have a 01 4Runner V6 90K and had the check engine light and VSC lights came on. First the dealer diagnosed it as Vacuum Switching Valve,(not covered by warranty) cost 170$. Two days later light was back on. I told the service dept. that the engine seemed to idle different and was having trouble accelerating. They advised me the mechanic forgot to reset the error code and didn't tighten the gas cap. A week later the lights are back on. Any other ideas?

Replying to: brutalblonde (Jun 03, 2007 11:41 am) Try asking in the Toyota 4Runner Maintenance and Repair discussion, and check out the "Check Engine" light board as well.   And maybe do a chargeback on the dealer's bill!
