Check Engine light.. duhhhh
OKay, Im confused.
I havent done anything to my 4runner for the past few weeks. Last thing I did was the Body lift, and that was like a month ago.
Now, all of a sudden, I turn my runner on, and my check engine light is on. I drove it around, no problems at all... Been like this all day.
I dont hear, see or feel anything wrong.
What do I do? How do you guys get allt hese diagnostic codes?

SC,
Did you check if it was the halogen fluid?!?!
You need a code reader to check the cause of the CEL. A few of us have the Auterra code reader. Search that term. Harbor Fright has a cheap code reader for under fiddy dollahs. Or your local auto parts store *might* plug their reader and let you know (free or at a price).

If you're check engine light is on, the first thing I would do is hit you're truck with a little prop-wash.....sometimes it's hard to find, but if you swing by the local municipal airport you can find some pretty easy, just ask around.
