The engine light comes on once I am driving . It’s not it’s on when I start the car.

You have a couple of choices . 1. If you are in the US most Auto Zone stores will read the codes ( if they have not suspended that because of the virus ) . 2. Have an independent shop look at your vehicle because there are many things that turn on the check engine light.

An auto parts store isn’t going to know how to pull the codes from your **OBDI** Toyota.

Here’s how it’s done.
