Strange what happened - Toyota Yaris Forums

Wussup guys, this evening I was on my way to work and felt the car funny, I have 2007 at/Sedan just so that you know, and it felt if that the car was on low gear, but it was in drive, I pulled over to check the engine bay and nothing. When I turned the car on again the check engine light came on( I was like HOLY SH!T I need a transmission now) so I went a bit further and called the wife, to bring me some tools to verify. 10 mins later, she gave me the tools and I found nothing out of the ordinary. So what I did was unhooked the battery for 10 mins and then connected her again, check engine gone and the car was running normal, this is strange WTF happened here. Now yesterday I did wash my engine and I keep her clean never had this problem could this be the cause of it, really IDK, but she is running fine now, has any one ever gone through this or is this just some freak accident. I also for got to mention when the car was in drive the L gear was also on WTF, any idea guys?

I don't have one but I got buddy who does, I'll have him check it then, but the car is running like it should, no problems thus far, it might have been a sensor that is wet I think not sure thou

ilikerice · 02-18-2011, 04:17 AM

well i think that since you disconnected the battery and reset the code, u wont be able to pull it any more.. should pulled the code when the light was on.. although you could try, it may still be in the history.

big lo · 02-18-2011, 04:34 AM

^thanks buddy, I will have a friend of mine check it out, but so far so good, like I said it might of been a wet sensor but I will post the out come later on tonight after I get up

Thanks brotha!!!

I had the checked and as of now nothing was registering meaning a flaw or a misfire, which is good news, the car is working fine and I'm very happy for that. Thanks to all who posted trying to find a solution, thanks guys.

$40 will get a cheap ODBII reader/scanner/re-setter.

With the electronic sophistication of modern cars, it's almost a must when confronted with a MIL.

You can at least use this to verify what your mechanic is telling you to keep them honest.
