My check engine light came on last night during my commute home. Car is running ok,all fluids were full when I checked them.
Is this just a sensor going bad or something more serious.
Book says go to Toyota dealer,can Auto Zone check and see what code comes up and what to do.
In put appreciated.

What else should I check

Before you ask how, use the search button. I'm pretty sure its been explained a hundred times over by now.

ack! what model, version, year? CEL relatively common (as problems go). If it's under warranty, take to dealer and let them worry about it.

well if u just want to get rid of the light u disconect the battery for 20 min conect ONLY the neg wire first for 10min and connect the positive wire. works everytime that how i got my car to pass smog and the light never came back.

Considering you should always connect the positive first then the negative or you'll get sparks and if theres hydrogen gas coming out of the battery at that time.. Kaboom.
