Today my check engine light came on this morning as I was heading to work. I schedule an appointment with my dealership Toyota of Orange tomorrow to get my major maintenance work done. I am very nervous about my check engine light being on.

I am currently driving far distances from Anaheim Hills to San Diego forgive me for not know the total miles. Currently I have over 12466 miles on my car. Though I have a lot of miles my car run excellent. I keep her maintained and put good gas in her 76 or Shell nothing else.

I will go to Autozone immediately after work today and have it checked out for free. Can anyone give me any advice on what the dealership may tell me tommorrow. I take very good care of my car. As soon as the maintenance required light comes on I try to fix the problem right away. Lately, due to finances I have been waiting a little past two weeks. I do not let the problem go any further than two weeks, so when the check engine light came on this morning I just put my head down. Please help.

PS-up until today I never had any major problems with my car. Thank you

Sincerely,

Disappointed :(

The check engine light can come on for many reasons, some simple (loose gas cap) some not simple.

Get the car scanned and go from there.

Let us know what code you get.
