check engine light

Finished degreasing and rinsing the engine bay (negative battery terminal disconnected during and while drying) and once connected again I started it up with no issues. The check engine light was on so I checked the code and it was C1241. Possible meaning from engine code: Low Battery...

So when doing the inner manifold gaskets up top mechanic unplugged a connector which he called the VVT Cam sensor bank1. But I have called every place imaginable and I think he is mistaken on what sensor it is. It is a 1 way/wire pigtail in which he has stuck in the hole with out the clip until...

I just moved to New Hampshire, and it has become Winter. I noticed the check engine light come on and a distinct smell of burning tires, or brakes or something burning. Also the idle has becoming very erratic. I understand there is no simple diagnostic port on a 94. What should I do to begin...

This happened to me last week, and I thought I'd share... We have a 2007 Sequoia Limited, and my wife calls to tell me that the VSC TRAC, VSC OFF, and Check Engine Light came on all at once. It was an over 100 degree hot day, and she had been driving all over town running errands, shuttling...

The check engine light (typically along with VSC and the other stability light I forget) has been intermittently on for days and weeks at time then sometimes off for days with no notable sound or engine behavior or smell. Car performs normal as before. Had it scanned couple times and code points...

I literally just got this thing ran fun when I bought it but barely made her home 1991 Hilux surf. The problem is when you try to accelerate to quickly or the truck is under load. I.e. going up a hill. Feels like e brake is on. Turbo light goes out and check engine light comes on. If you let...

I've posted a few months ago regarding my 2005 LC CEL on and code indicating bad CATS, upon replacing the O2 sensors (OEM) and resetting the unit, everything was fine until a month ago the light came on again. One day accidentally I had the key turned in "on" position without starting the...

Good evening fine folks at Ih8mud! I'm new to the offroad and LC scene, after being introduced to the joys of offroading last summer. I knew this hobby was my next one. Fast forward 8 months and I'm the proud new owner of a 1991 beige/cedarwood FJ80. 270k miles and a bit of rust, but she is a...

In short, I have a fabulous 96 LX that is throwing the EGR code. It also doesn't help that I must go through emissions testing. Through the several searches I have achieved the following; HOWEVER the code remains.... -EGR tests out -Modulator tests out -VSV works -intake port is spotless -temp...

I've been the proud owner of a high-mileage 1999 LC for just over a week, and the check engine light started flashing at me today. I'm just starting to learn the ins and outs of maintaining a LC, so I dropped it off at a local mechanic and will find out tomorrow what the problem is. Based on...

2001 Land Cruiser, 160k miles I was running my Land Cruiser there a day and the check engine light came on with the VSC track and the VSC off lights illuminated on the dash. There is no problems when I am driving the car but I still took it to an advance auto to read the diagnostic codes. I...
