Suhaimiebrahim 1st Gear May 4, 2015 Share May 4, 2015 Hi bros, Need your feedback and advise. Recently, saw this symbol looks like an engine block appear on my instrument display. Look in the manual and it says " sent car to Toyota dealer" What exactly this symbol mean and is it a major problem to the car? I have not sent my car for checking yet. Have a nice day ahead. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desmojon 1st Gear May 4, 2015 Share May 4, 2015 Commonly known as CEL "Check Engine Light" Can be many reasons but get it check as soon as possible. Many workshops have an engine diagnostic tool to find out what is exactly wrong. Good luck 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like what the above forumer say, it's "check engine light". Mean the engine detected a fault in the system, what you can do is to disconnect and reconnect your battery aka "reset" the ECU memory and see if the fault came back or one off fault. If it came back, you can use a scan gauge tool to scan see what's the problem and get it repair, most likely it's O2 sensor problem. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opel17 6th Gear May 4, 2015 Share May 4, 2015 ECU detected a fault. Workshop has the tool to diagnose the fault. The last time I encounter this, i send to workshop and the fault diagnosed was engine misfiring. End up I have to change all the spark plugs Exactly what my engine suffered several months ago on the way back from Genting. Usually manual would advise to drive/"limp" at slower pace to workshop, since there is something not right with the engine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
