Problem with engine check light V6 - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

Hey guys, my mom's 1994 V6 Camry has a strange problem. The engine check light will randomly come on. If it is on and you check for codes... there are none.. then after a random period of time.. sometimes days... it will disappear

I remember that when my mom first got the car (after about 1 year) it did this, she took it to Toyota and they just reset it.. then it happened again and they replaced some sensor.. I wish I knew which one, I guess I can find out by calling Toyota and checking what was replaced under warranty

But has anyone had this experience? Maybe have an idea of what it could be?

Thanx

to find out what sensor was changed, take a look at the invoice that the dealership gave your mom....they're usually fairly detailed about problems

When myn did that I ended up having to change my MAF sensor and it fixed it! Not sure if thats it but it fixed myn!

Thats weird, a CEL doesn't usually reset itself. Have you been running cheapy gas or could you have water in the tank?

hummm, we only use Silver... so not cheep ass stuff (but the gas price is outa control in Vancouverand I bet the rest of Canada too... stupid GVRD and there gas taxes!

I have no clue what the problem is still... the light is gone again so I don't know....

If I ever find out what it is, I will let you guys know
