There is a problem somewhere in the engine, emission control system, electronic throttle control system, automatic transmission electrical system or warning light system itself.

My 2007 Toyota Tacoma Check Engine light has been shown lately in my dashboard. I took the battery cables off once (it worked) and tightened the gas cap on another one, (this time I had to wait and check other things according to youtube. I hope you could help me on what to do on stopping this light for keep on coming on. I took the truck to Toyota once but I do not believe they know what to do about this problem. Please have someone contact me with some suggestions. Thank you
The check engine indicator can indicate several aspects, the most common are: bad fuel with water in it, used spark plugs, problems with the induction coil, a lot of sensors. Try to search the problem with an special scanner tool, replace the part and in most cases the check engine light will turn off automatically.
