thank you so much for you help.

1. yes, we just have it maintained in July or June, I couldn't remember the exact date. After that, the two air bags were stolen, and the car was in the bodyshop of the dealership for one and a half months.

We just got the car back one month ago.

I am suspicious that they might screw up something around the engine, since they had the power cable repared. Maybe they forgot to put some nuts back?

2. yes, it's underwarranty. does that mean the dealer will check it for free?

Again, thank you very much for your kind help. I feel much better now. I would get the car inspected this afternoon.

Thanks!

    We have a 2002 Corolla, bought one year ago. This morning, we found the little icon "Engine check" was on. What does that mean? Should I have my car inspected by the dealer? If so, how much will that cost?

    Help me please! I am so worried. Thanks a lot!
    • my thought
      1. Did you ever take the car for maintenance, oil change, if not, do so ASAP.

      2. I believe 2002 car is still under warranty if not exceeding 60k, don't worry about cost. besides the earlier you check, the less damage it might be, the more you save eventually.

      3. Even problems you have to deal with, check the car at the dealers first, in terms of cost, you can ask whether it's reaonsable ar Rolia after you find out from dealership.

    • could up to 20 causes for the 'check engine' light according to sunday auto-talk, eg. ERG valve, loose of gas cap, so on and so forth, it wont be a big prolem for a new car, my guess, but better to have a check ASAP.
      • thank you. I just talked with one of my colleagues. He said the the engine light is in fact an idiot light. ^_^ It only tells you that something is wrong, but don't tell you what goes wrong.
        • you'd better ask your dealer to check it anyhow
          • okay, I will do it this afternoon. Now my only concern is will the dealer charge me for it? My car is still under warranty. Thanks!
            • they may charge you labor, i'm not too sure. could anyone confirm it?
              • checking fee $30 + labour $70-80 at least
                • even though it is still under warranty? oh, so upset.
                  • You can go to the dealer and ask them to chang the engine oil (<$30 before tax), then tell them the porblem you met, I think they will check it for you free.
                    • report one: the car was checked by the dealer. It cost 80 dollars. But we are not charge. Happy.
                    • report two: the reason that the engine light was on is: one vacumm cap is loose. It was replaced and the light went off.
                    • Thanks for your suggestion. We would try that later, when the car is not covered by warranty.
                • wow, you make a accurate guess. PFPF.
