2001 toyota corrola maintenance question

Hi
I have a 2001 toyota corolla , with about 110,000 miles on it,. I drive my car about 60 miles daily and need some advice on mainteance to keep it working fine
What mainteance do i need to do,
1, Some times the check engine light comes on and goes after drivng 100 miles,
do i need to clean fuel filter? can i do it at home, is it easy to do
2, Do i need to flush the transimmision fluid ( i guess i have never done that before)
3, Do i need to replace power steering fluid
4, Do i need to replace coolant in raditor
5, Do i need to replace spark plugs


Any other suggestions to keep my car working for another 50,000 miles

1. take to autozone to scan for engine light cause. fuel filter is in tank, dont worry about changing.
2. change trans fluid every 30k miles, some people say flushes are service gimmicks and arent needed.
3. replace steering fluid...and brake fluid also.
[the most overlooked fluid on a car, should change every 2yrs but people drive 4+yrs then brakes fail]
4. replace coolant every 30k miles.
5. replace stock spark plugs every 100k miles or sooner if you wish.

if you havent changed your drive belt then check it for cracks and replace it if cracked.
