That's very interesting. There's a Toyota dealership network in Oregon, Lithia Toyota -- we got this LC from the Grants Pass dealer but in our city they have a dealer, too. I have found them to be really generous and responsive -- they have taught me a lot -- but it's also clear that they...

That's great to know. I've already learned a lot from this site. I'll have to put KDSS on my list for the next learning curve to tackle. Right now I'm trying to figure out whether my engine air filter box is sealing properly or letting in some dirt.
