| I recently had the CEL come on (and a few seconds later the VSC and the 4wd light come on, which on another forum someone wrote that the CEL disables the VSc which disables the 4wd. Also as noted in another forum, this disable the cruise control). The gas cap was not fully tight, but I had had 140 miles since my last fill up (however, I was above 7,000 feet which seems to improve my mileage a lot but also meant a dealer was far away). Tightened the gas cap and 200 miles later the lights went off. The guys at autozone were great as it did say EVAP leak (and a sensor error) and they offered to disconnect my battery to reset it. The autozone guy thought it might take 30 short drives to reset the light. Thanks for the advice here! | |

Replying to: fredy3 (Mar 31, 2009 11:20 pm) The toyota dealer received my parts, I went to the dealer to replace the oxygen sensor located near to the cathalytic exaust system (there is four sensors on the catalytic exaust system, two up front and two at the back for a six cylinders engines) So for the replcement of that oxygen sensor the dealer report me that during the installation they find the sensor wires were cutted (broken)....I beleived the original sensor was good....dealers dont spend enough time to find the problem and make the wrong diagnostic. But the 250.00$ sensor was on waranty...so they installed that new oxygen sensor and they repaired the broken wires and so far so good...no message anymore and the car running perfectly. I love that car amazing drive. fredy3 |
