Default HAS THIS HAPPENED TO ANYBODY ELSES XB

On the way to work this morning my TCS, TRACK OFF, AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT came on. It ran fine all the way to work, I have not had a chance to check it out yet.
Is this just a blow fuse? Or something worse

it could be anything from a loose gas cap to your entire intake /exhaust fell off.

first, check the gas cap to make sure it's really tight. that's the most common cause.

Ya What Brent said.. Check your gas cap.. Make sure it "clicks" 3-4 times.
Mine comes on when it rains sometimes too. Just one of those things. First time I flipped out and had to call Bryan at CB and go WTF, he calmly said.. "I'ts ok. Just check your gas cap" Bryan is the man!! .. but if you do a search you'll see its common.

I dont have the CEL come on, but my TCS and track off always come on. Have to shut the car down and restart it and then they go away. I had to do it twice while on the pocker run.

Okay found the answer. Took the box into Avondale Scion this morning.
Now I was just there 2 weeks ago getting the 60K Service done.
Same dude that helped me then was there again. Named C.J. He said it should take about a 1/2 hour but they will have to charge me $45 to look at it. Cool.

It took alot longer but they found the problem and he was cool enough to only charge me the $45. Thanks Avondale. Apparently the "tube" that runs to the bottom of the gas tank came loose. He went on to say that some of the older gas nozzles at stations (the long ones without the springs on them) get down there and depending on if you let it fill up all the way and it automatically clicks, or how much force you use (which of course I dont go He-Man when filling up my car with gas) will loosen the connection some times. So I had a vapor leak instead of a fuel leak. Sounds strange, but I did fill up two days prior to this happening. Who knows..

Where is this tube located so I can try to fix mine.
Mine came on after i smacked the back end on the ground really hard over a huge bump while riding way to low.

Hey Chris- Sorry man, you had a few customers up there.
I'll be back down there.

I dont know exactly how to get to the tube only that the car had to be put on the rack to access it. I would start right where the gas tank is though.
