Check engine steady display

**cvvrvv** · June 14th, 2012 05:34 PM

Im new here and needs help. I got a second hand car, Toyota Vios 2006 1.3J. After two weeks on every engine start, the check engine light was light ON the dash board. Here to ask what is the best thing to handle this.

Maraming Salamat! thanks in advance.

Too difficult to do an exact pinpoint based on the information we know.

But in my opinion, if a 5-6 year old car is giving you a check engine light (CEL), I'd have Toyota check it because it can't be good - spotty service records on the warranty/service booklet will confirm if the previous owner was lazy with the maintenance. Who knows what else is just about ready to break?

I'll have Toyota do all necessary preventive maintenance and repairs so you can start anew with the car (kahit sa labas mo na ipa-maintain afterwards).

may napansin ka ba na kakaiba pag naka-idle ang auto mo? like nangangatog or parang mamamatayan ka? try mo check yung spark plugs, tension wires and sensors...

pero syempre mas ok pa din na dalhin mo sa casa or sa mas may nakakaalam...

Thanks for quick reply. This what Iam also thinking, to bring the car to Toyota service center. Unfortunately the service/warranty booklet was not turnover to me. This is a company car that just turnover to me. Previous owner already went abroad. and im the one who shoulders maintenance.
