You will need an OBD II code scanner to determine why the check engine light
came on. Your mechanic should have one, or as timbirr suggested, some parts
stores will scan the codes for free.

Once you have the codes, you can post the code numbers (not the parts
store's interpretation of the codes) here for some more advice.

Some emissions components have a longer warranty than the powertrain
warranty so depending on what is wrong, it may be better to take it to a
Toyota dealer for repair.
