Compare Toyota engine management light repair quotes from specialist garages

Toyota is the world's largest car manufacturer, famous for the reliability of its vehicles, from the classic Hilux pickup truck to more recent electrified models like the RAV4 Plug-in, which is the most satisfying new car to own in 2023, according to Which?.

Data shows that 20 years after they were sold, 80% of Toyota cars are still on the road. It's hardly surprising that Toyota earned the title of 'Most Reliable Car Brand' at the 2023 Fleet News FN50 Awards. The brand is also cheap to maintain, as our comparison of Toyota and Ford demonstrates.

Toyota's commitment to green innovation, which has seen the development of numerous electric models, extends beyond passenger cars to the racetrack - in 2021, its racing division introduced the GR10 Hybrid Hypercar to compete in the FIA World Endurance Championship.

The engine management light (EML) - also referred to as the check engine light - is a small engine symbol that becomes illuminated on your dashboard to indicate a problem, the severity of which is suggested by the colour of the light (red or yellow) and whether it stays on or flashes (usually due to misfires).

Many things can trigger the EML. Some are easy to fix, such as a loose fuel cap, while others are more expensive, such as a faulty catalytic converter. One of the most common reasons is a defective oxygen sensor - if your car is also experiencing a drop in fuel efficiency and black smoke from the exhaust, this is likely why.

Read this guide for more information about why the engine management light comes on and how to fix it.

You don't have to risk driving your car to a garage when the EML is illuminated. Instead, you can book a mobile mechanic, who will carry out an engine management light repair at a convenient location for you.
