Why the "Check Engine" light comes on?

[artpogi]

Ask ko lang possible reasons why "Check Engine" light comes on? I'm driving a 97 Corolla GLI (matic) and noticed that the "Check Engine" light turns on after a few minutes of driving. I haven't noticed anything else odd though. Pina check na sya sa talyer and ok naman daw, wala daw problema, they suggested na "pundihin" na lang ilaw kung naiilang ako. Tama ba yun?

Can anybody recommend a trustworthy shop within Las Pinas/Alabang area?

when the check engine light comes on, nag-iiba ba ang takbo ng makina? Like parang pigil or sakal? If not, baka may mga loose or maduming sensors lang.

As for the suggestion of that talyer that you consulted, that was a pretty stupid suggestion and obviously they don't know what they are doing. Kaya nga may CEL (Check Engine Light) eh to warn you that something is not right with the car.

To be sure, you can go to Toyota Casa and have your ECU scanned for errors, sa Mitsu casas ballpark figure is 600-700 pesos yata ang ECU scan, I don't know about Toyotas' rate.
