    I had the same issue happen yesterday. I scanned my car and had a misfire in cylinder 4 and fixed it and now it rides great. Just make sure to reset your light to make sure the problem is actually fixed It could be a spark plug or an ignition coil

      If you don't have a scan tool you can disconnect the negative battery cable for 5 minutes. I know you going to hear that you don't suppose to do that. I do all of the time. The only way it hurts if try to go get it inspection. All you have to do go drive it for 50 miles and you should be good

      @@Im_a_nerd_too if you don't have a scan tool OBD scanner I highly recommend you buy one you can get one for like 25 bucks. It's as easy as push a button. However as this other gentleman said you can go to your battery and disconnect and reconnect it

    Wow! That's so awesome! We've got so many people with awesome, awesome ways to fix a situation. We got the guy who replaces his gas cap and fixes it. That's awesome. We got the guy who disconnects his battery and makes the light go out. We know that'll last about 10 minutes and we got this guy You just tells you to turn the VSC off by pushing the button which I don't know about you but I've never seen on my car or any other car like this. If anyone has a real solution please let me know. This situation is driving me nuts.

      I kind of begin to think it's probably an Easter egg some programmer at Toyota put in the software. So Toyota can charge some easily manipulated people a few grands to "fix" all the 10 possible problems that might cause it.

Otherwise car runs fine. I think the sensors are just shit, and they are trying to con us into replacing entire engines as oppossed to a 50$ sensor. Scam artists.

      In the past (~70k miles) it was a dirty mass air flow sensor. I bought a can of cleaner specifically for mass air flow sensors, and used that. I think I had to turn the car on and off half a dozen times and drive some. I was actually looking for the video to address that, and as came back 3-1/2 years later.

      I was out of town for 3 weeks and my car was idle this whole time. It was very cold where I live. So, when I got back I had this issue after the first start. I run a code reader and it picked up error code which said cylander 2 misfire. I drove the car for about 20 minutes it was still kind of shaky but afer the 2nd start the problem went away on its own. I re-run the code reader and no error codes were picked up. In my case I think some condensation/vapor or simply buildup inside the cylander might have caused this issue.
      I had done some research before that and it is most likely either a spark plug or fuel injector. Most people suggest you swap the fuel injector from another cylander and see if you get the same problem (but in another cylander). You need to check with a code reader. If that is the case replace it. I was planning to do it myself but fortunately I did not have to. There are many videos that shows how to do it. Good luck. @@atifaftab

    You say that people shouldn't get distressed or worry just because the "check engine" light is on unless it's accompanied by other indicator lights... I think it's worth mentioning thatbif someone's check engine light is flashing, even just by itself (but flashing) then the vehicle should immediately be turned off and you should call a mechanic to find out the next steps, but you definitely shouldn't operate any vehicle with a check engine light flashing... That means there's something seriously wrong and just running the engine could cause catastrophic failure.

    Not gas cap!!! It's switch sensor for tank... When this light on the gas or fuel leaks... That means hard to start for diesel and for petrol need few seconds to start it... When it on you must change the filters near tank for fuel and for gas@ petrol the inside small filter....
