I have gone through the forums for this issue based on that I tired one option that I replaced the gas cap of my car. but still the light is on do we need to reset the light or it will take time to go off for particular period ? Please advice.
1996 Toyota Camry Check Engine Light
For the best answers, search on this site shorturl.im/awNnf As you can see, most people think the cost is too much and I agree. The difference is that I think that is an indication of something worse. Amco transmissions is probably not telling you the truth. I would go to AutoZone or any part store and get the CEL read by them, the code is still in there if the light is stil on. It might just be the O2 sensor but while changing this cheap little part, they will make believe they also changed the cat. Get a different opinion on what's wrong and where ever you get it fixed, ask beforehand that you want to see the old part.
Pedro is right. Changing parts arbitrarily is not the way to go. You have to find out why the light is on, and that can only be done by interfacing with the car's computer. Autozone will do it for free, and tell you what code/s set the light, what sensor or system is at fault, and then you'll know. You can't simply get the light reset either. You must get the problem fixed, as mandated by laws set forth by local and federal authorities. Even if you could find someone to reset the code, it will just come on again after you drive for 10 minutes. You are also doing yourself and your car a disservice by not fixing the problem correctly. A faulty sensor (or other component/s) can cause drive-ability problems, clog the catalytic converter, ruin plugs, eat gas, etc. My girlfriend's Toyota light came on. Went to Autozone. Their device read the code: PO242 (or whatever) - downstream oxygen sensor. Bought an O2 sensor, put it in, reset battery, voila. Lights out, passed inspection, better gas mileage, even the exhaust smells better (no, I'm not making that last one up).
