Yaris/Scion & Vitz :: Check Engine Light Came On

The check engine light has been going on and off for a couple of months. I took it in to be looked at and the mechanic said they couldn't get a code, couldn't get a "good read" on what was wrong. They said I could take the car back (but they couldn't give me an inspection sticker) and drive it for a couple of days and if the light comes on, take it back to them. If the light doesn't come on after a few days, they will give me the sticker. I can't believe my car is going to act any differently than it has for the last few months -- light comes on sometimes, sometimes it doesn't. Shouldn't the mechanic be able to tell what's wrong.

have a 2005 Scion with about 60,000 miles.

Yaris/Scion & Vitz :: 2008 Toyota Check Engine Light Comes On - No Oil Cap

In January I had taken my car in for an oil change. About a Month later my check engine light comes on. I pull over and there is no oil cap. Why the light hadn't come on before then is beyond me. I also park on grass so didnt notice it. I took it to advanced auto to see what the code for the light was and it said that the engine was running lean. Is this connected? and if so how? I am driving a 2008 Toyota Yaris Hatchback

Yaris/Scion & Vitz :: 2007 - Check Engine Light Comes On With P0011 Code

I have a 2007 Yaris, 180,000 miles, The check engine light comes on. With a P0011 code. I know that that could mean either:

blocked oil passage
Mechanical timing fault
Camshaft position a timing over advance
Failed OCV
Or VVT controller assembly fault

Since it's been really cold out I figured maybe it was a blocked oil passage, but after an oil change and quick check - I no longer think that's the problem.

The car runs great and it doesn't seem anything is wrong at all ...

Yaris/Scion & Vitz :: Echo 2003 - Check Engine Light But No Code

Recently changed a front pipe manifold on my Echo 2003 4doors Five spd.

Noise I was reporting ealier thread seems to have subsided somehow but I did not hit the high road again, since the repair.

But I have this check engine light that went off 3 days ago and stays on.

Tried 4 times to read the code of OBd II reader and it pulls nothing. As if everything was normal.

I changed the batteries but it acts like it does regularly and it shows like there is no code to pull out.

Could that be a Ghostly Check Engine. It is still on at the moment meaning every time I drive the car.

Yaris/Scion & Vitz :: 2002 - Coolant And Check Engine Light Came On, No Spark

I just purchased a manual 02 echo coupe with 140k, It has been sitting for over 4 years as it has some type of wiring issue, I replaced the ECM thinking it was that and has the same symptoms. With key "off" the check engine light is on (about half bright) and the blue coolant light (full brightness) Forgot to mention another big problem, When I plug in the scanner there is no communication.

From what the old owner told me, He had a clutch put in it and the battery was installed backwards and it burnt the ECM. I'm thinking he bought the car as is and never got it running.

I read that the power goes through the instrument cluster. I'm going to pick one up from the junkyard tomorrow (off a 2000 manual echo).

Symptoms:

No communication to ECM

Coolant and check engine light stay on when switch is off

No spark at any of the four coils.

Replacement ECU did not fix anything.

I cleaned the three ground points in the engine bay.

I sprayed starting fluid hoping it was a fuel problem.

Yaris/Scion & Vitz :: 2000 Echo Check Engine Light On / Code P0171

First owner, 192000 miles. Check engine light came on during last winter, I put fuel injector cleaner with gas and it went away for a while. It came back on, if i reset, I can drive for about 50 miles before it comes back on line. Also, may be two or three times a week, when moving after a stop, the vehicle stalls, i have to take the feet of the gas pedal and give gas again.

I called up the dealer asking for fuel filter and fuel injector parts prices. Fuel filter is in the gas tank and not meant to be replaced. The fuel injector I was told 4 x $155 each. For diagnostics they need $100

See attached, I was able to clean sensor 1. I could not unscrew sensor 2, the screw is rusted, plus there is no room to get a longer screw driver and turn.

Yaris/Scion & Vitz :: Check Engine Light Came On And Dash Lights Started Flashing

A couple of weeks ago I was driving my 2008 Toyota Yaris and the check engine light came on. Soon after the check engine light came on every dash light started flashing. The Car down shift into second while I was going 55 miles an hour! We took the car into a service center where they said it was the speed sensor which they replaced. We got the car home. I drove it to work the next day and while going to lunch the check engine light came back on! The car seems to be shifting fine though! They mentioned that if the speed sensor didn't fix it, it could be the "cluster"! What the heck is that?

Yaris/Scion & Vitz :: Check Engine Light On - Camshaft Timing Control Valve Replacement

I purchased a build Dec 05 1.3l Yaris several months ago. I recently started to get a check engine light, so I did a scan of the computer and it returned a P0012 error. Though multiple searches, I learned that this is likely due to the Camshaft Timing Control Valve Assembly or possibly the OCV filter.

Further searches haven't been able to reveal which parts I need to purchase to replace these items. I can only find details for the 1.5l engine.

The engine is: 2nz-fe, model: ncp90r-agmrkq

1. I don't even know where these parts are located on the car?
2. What part numbers do I need to purchase to replace?

Yaris/Scion & Vitz :: Echo - Red Thermostat Light Coming On And Off

My Echo is giving me problems. The red thermostat light has been coming off and on for the past two months. I had the radiator, fan and thermostat replaced. It started blinking again after two days. I took it to a mechanic that tested to see if it had a head gasket blown. That wasn't the problem. The mechanic said it was the water pump. I had the water pump replaced today and drove approximately 12 miles home when the red light started blinking again.

Yaris/Scion & Vitz :: 2001 Echo Engine Light Came On / Code P1349

My great 2001 Echo is acting up for the first time in 11yrs!.. This weekend I decided to have my mechanic change the manual transmission fluid and do a general inspection of the vehicle. He found nothing wrong. I decided that before embarking on a long trip, that I would change the oil/filter, flush the radiator and put new antifreeze, change the airfilter, replace the alternator belt, added a small bottle of Lucas complete fuel system and a new battery.

I was proud of my DIY performance except that the next day the engine light came on! I took it to AutoZone where I purchase all the supplies and battery and they came up with CODE P1349 which I researched and found out about VVT(variable valve timing) malfunction. Some of the reasons for this malfunction are: low fuel pressure due to clogged or bad injectors..... Fuel pump regulator....camshaft malfunction or ECU (engine control unit) problem.

1.This morning the light was off then ten or fifteen minutes later it went on and at the same time the iddle got much faster for about two or three minutes, (in other words the engine was running faster even when I took my foot off the accelerator) and then came back to normal.

2. Later on the light was off again followed by the same sequence of events. Then at one point later I could tell that the the engine was running fast again for a couple of minutes.

Yaris/Scion & Vitz :: Fault Code P1272 - Engine Light On In Dash

For some time I have engine light on in dash. I bought OBD scan tool and I'm using OBD Auto Doctor.

I had this engine light on for some time. It come on and goes off comes on etc.

So this is the fault - P1272

I didn't find much info about this code. There are two reading about this code. Either it's something to do with fuel pump pressure or something to do with one of the cylinders.

Yaris/Scion & Vitz :: 2000 Echo Engine Rattle Under Light Acceleration?

I just got my wife a 2000 Echo with 224,000kms on the odo. Everything appears to be fine other than a mystery rattling noise under light acceleration. If I were to describe it, it sounds as if a box of rocks were to be shaken around. Or like a rattling loose chain... <------ definitely hope it's not that!

From a search, it seems like others have encountered this strange noise but have not reach what the cause is.

From what I gather, the timing chains on these motors are literally never touched and should last the life of the vehicle.

Yaris/Scion & Vitz :: 2003 Echo Running Rough At Low Speed - Engine Light Blinks At Acceleration

My car is a standard and was working fine not indication of any troubles. Stopped and pumped $20 gas. Started to drive and car starts running rough especially at low speeds. Going up hill is brutal. Engine light flash when trying to accelerate, slow getting up to speed, shudders- not a lot of power, once up to speed engine light turn off.

Press the gas to go up hill- engine light comes back on and it begins all over, it also sounds like it is not running on all cylinders.

Is there any suggestions: fuel pump, fuel injection...spark plugs and wires? Something more serious

My wife's 2003 Echo is sitting at 255 000 KM's (Canada) and has hardly had a days problem.However yesterday tried starting and completely dead-not battery as almost new. Ignition makes clicking noise-lights/radio etc all working.Called the BCAA ( Vancouver) the guy tapped with a pole on something in the engine and voila she started. He said something about the starter or starter solenoid-today again the car is dead. Will take it to the mechanic on Monday but how do I get it started meanwhile ? what did the BCAA guy do and what did he tap on ?

Yaris/Scion & Vitz :: 2004 Echo Won't Start?

I inherited my stepson's 2004 Echo. It's in great shape still aside from the fact it won't start. There's been a new battery, alternator and spark plugs put in recently. There are no codes coming up when I plug in the reader I have. So what is happening is that when I try to start it - it sounds like it almost wants to start but just doesn't fire up. I'm wondering if it's something to do with the fuel? There's no indicator lights that come up either.

Yaris/Scion & Vitz :: 2009 - Coolant Leak On The Top Hose Coming From Radiator

I just bought a used 09 yaris, 5 speed manual tranny. There seems to be a small coolant leak on the top hose coming from the radiator, the one that connects to a plastic flange or adapter and then go's to the engine block. The car does not get hot and it drive fine except it leaks at that spot. I try using a regular hose clamp and still leaked. Is the thermostat not opening up or is the water pump intermittent stopping? or something like that. Or maybe the hose itself is bad. Since this is a used car who knows what the previous owner did, I might change out the hose over the weekend and replace all the coolant to the correct Toyota long life system. to be on the safe side.
