Help Needed with in-Car Warning Symbols

Angelo
By Angelo

Hello All,

Bought a new Camry 2008 on the 27th of Nov 07, crossed 1900Km yesterday, Last night the "Malfunction indicator lamp*1 (it has an engine symbol)came on and will not go off, I turned the engine off and on a couple of times, no change.

The manual says " Take vehicle to Toyota dealer" This lamp warns that there is a problem somewhere in the engine electical system, electronic throttle control system or automatic transmission electrical system. blah blah blah.

It is still under warranty, next scheduled check is at 6044KM, as you all know Qatar is closed for eid and most companies will open by 23rd. I can't be without a vehicle, any recommendations will be highly appreciated.

I hope you are right kingkam, I have not paid the first installment yet, and the car is less than a month. I use super from the regular petrol stations and highest octane from woqood. Are you with a brand of cars??

Anyways, thanks all. I hope the car works till tomorrow and Toyota service centre at D-ring road is open.

I have been given a free road-side assist card, valid for one year by Toyota (just remembered) hope if the car stops this card will pull me through.

ther is a sensor called (O2) sensor or (CO) sensor when its get dirty because of fuiel it cozed this check engine light to be tregering on the dashpord so dont wory just use your car till they open and then go to the service center in industrial area and tell them to make the high scan pro test for your car engine to determine exactly which sensor is to be changed or to be cleaned and one addvice to you alwayas use the 97octan nomber fuiel they called it in woqood petrol station plateen thats the best fuiel for the new cars ...hamzah ...vehicles service engineer
