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.

I hear you, but so that you know my friend works in Toyota and he knows the money I spend on my baby, and the time as well. It all came down to a wet sensor, sh!t happens as they say. But this weekend we are going to use a silicone spray on certain sensors so history doesn't repeat itself, but thanks for the info you concern for the matter is appreciated, thanks buddy

You said you washed the car. Did you wash under the hood? Do you have an aftermarket intake? If you cleaned under the hood, did you use any chemicals?

Certain cleaners, like "Purple Cleaner" can actually eat away at the rubber seals on electrical connectors. On my old Jeep, I learned that the hard way after replacing a bunch of the sensors.

Have you checked the trans fluid level? Color? Does it smell like burning?

I agree, next time try to get the code pulled/scanned. That will tell you a lot.

HA, I guess wash the car again, hope it happens while close to home, and read the code.

^lol, I've washed my motor since I brought the car never had a problem with it, until the other day. What we use is green chemical called Doctor mechanic which is a product. But you are right thou, I'm going to get a scanner for cases like this, but so far so good, thanks for the input
