Default dash lights check engine esc traction control all on

All my dash lights keep lighting up. Last week was "fixed" under warranty at Toyota. Lighting up again today. Engine sputters and stalls. Taking back to Toyota tomorrow. Anyone else know of this issue?

That could be a lot of things actually.

But please let us know what the dealership says.

I have seen this before on a srt4 forum. Some where your wire harness is getting pinched. In the case of the srt4 the engine some how moved and pinched the harness. They had to replace the whole harness.

It will only display generic codes, there scanners are not that great. If hes having that many problems he needs to take it back to the dealer. Even if he does get the codes from lets say auto zone scanner. It will not be good enough for him to diagnose the problem. Engine sputtering and stalling, to many problems could cause that. Something as simple from a common shared ground on the sensors to who knows what...Step by step they'll brake it down and find the problem.

Just take it back to the dealer man, if it was warranty work anyway the have to fix it.

I have no modifications. The wiring harness was replaced last time. Toyota said that was the problem. It was obviously not the culprit. Since I still have the same problem.

Ouch, my sisters 07 corolla had a similar problem to this. It was actually a bad computer that they started recalling. Becareful some dealer dont always know how to diagnose electronics and will just throw parts at the car. It might be the simple stuff they over look, best of luck man.

Default All lights coming on at same time?

I have had this same issue, and what the issue were my brakes where down to 2% pad left on them! Now this may not be what is going on with yours, but then it’s an ABS issue! I would bring it in as soon as possible!

Default Lights

Well this is what the dealer told me the reason for the lights! All I know is that it was snowing the two times that the lights came one and the ABS was out and then came back on and the light went off!

Default Service light

This is an easy one. Hold down the mileage reset **** on the trip gauge while turning the key to the power position. You do not need to turn the car over, but hold it for ten seconds or until the light goes away! This works on the xB1 and xB2. You just have two ***** on the xB2. The one on the left is to change the options on the first gauge and the second is for the trip gauge.

Your trip counter should be on "Trip A" when you do this. When you turn the key to "On" while holding the trip reset button, 5 dashes will show up and go out one at a time. When they're all out, you're done.
