The dash board of Toyota Corolla 1990 model shows a sign of engine when it is running. Whats problem is this?
-
When I start the engine the sign of the engine that appears on the dashboard automatically goes off and will never light until the engine stops. What is happening now is that the sign of the engine on the dash board is appearing while the engine is running which is not normal. Suprisingly the sign of the Engine keeps turning on and off as I drive. First I thought it was a filter problem. I replaced it but the problem has not changed. What could be the problem? My Car is Toyota Corolla 16 Valve AE 110 engine made in Japan in the year 1990.

Answer:
It's you check engine light which indicates that something is not performing correctly. Take it to an auto parts store and they can diagnose for you. Or take it to a repair center. Sometimes it can be as simple as needing a new gas cap. Good Luck!!!

I am no cowboy, but counting the flash codes is exactly how Toyota says to determine the code when the check engine light is on in your '90 Camry. There is a small covered connector near your air filter. Open the cap and inside the cap will be a "map" showing which terminals are which. Use a wire or paper clip to join (short) TE and E1, then turn the ignition on. Toyota says: • In the event of a malfunction, the light will blink every 0.5 seconds. The first number of blinks will equal the first digit of a 2–digit diagnostic code and, after a 1.5 second pause, the 2nd number of blinks will equal the 2nd. If there are two or more codes, there will be a 2.5 second pause between each. • After all the codes have been signalled there will be a 4.5 second pause and they will all be repeated as long as the terminals TE1 and E1 of the check connector are shorted. After you get the code, email me at [email protected] and I will tell you what the code is for and what to do.

Sounds like it could be the starter or the altinator or even a battery call your mechanic and make an appointment to have the car checked out

could be a faulty dashboard light, or switch, you may just have to reset it... i had a 90s model toyota tercel and it did the same thing....probably nothing wrong - toyo is a running little car!

Thelev51 pretty much answered your question, if your car is running ok, it probably means nothing, those errors it is detecting are mostly emissions related. It could have been a little moisture in the gas or something like that. I have a 97 4runner with 185,000 miles on it, the check engine light has been on for over 3 years, it runs like new.

this is a engine management warning lamp, if you are a member of the AA/RAC call them out for a diagnostic check, this will be all part of your membership some garages will charge up to £85 for this , so give the man a drink............

It means the Engine managment system is detecting a fault from one of the sensors in the system it could be anything and the only sure way of finding out is to get a garage with a Diagnostic Setup to check the car and it will tell you which sensor it is it will cost for the Diagnostic check but without it you could be looking for ever. Dont let a cowboy tell you they can tell from counting the amount of flashes from the Symbol I have never known this be accurate yet and seen it done loads of times

this shows there is a fault with engine computer, get car checked by auto electrician, can result in engine seizing ifnot sorted

That's your check engine light. drive over to your mechanic and have them check it out.
