I have a Camry 2000 with a check engine light that won't go off. Can this fix it?

It fixed it for me, but the repair people diagnosed that it was bad - they wanted to replace the entire canister assembly - $300 for the part alone and only available from Toyota. I told them no, I'd live with the light. Checked the web, found this part and it matched. Replaced it and light is gone. I have a 2000 Camry LE. The light could be from other things, too, like the gas cap seal. Good luck!

I only know about 2001 4Runner. On mine the error code (via bluetooth ODBII adapter and Torque software) was a general evap code and all you can do is keep trying things until it gets fixed. I tried new gas cap and then this valve which luckily fixed it. Do not "top off" your tank will fill charcoal canister. "P0446 - Evaporative Emission Control System Vent Control Circuit Malfunction Possible causes - Missing Fuel cap - Incorrect fuel filler cap used - Fuel filler cap remains open or fails to close - Foreign matter caught in fuel filler cap - Vent control valve harness is open or shorted - Vent control valve circuit poor electrical connection - Faulty vent control valve"

You need to know the code that the CEL gives before you go off buying stuff for your car... Your local autopart stores can check the code free of charge. Keep in mind though that retail auto-part associates are not mechanics so the most they can do is check the code for you.CEL codes start with P0****, you might wanna write it down when they tell the code number(s) that's giving the CEL.

If you car is newer I would take it to the dealer. That is an issue that could cause serious injury, as you know. This tool will diagnose problems that have activated the check engine light. If your check engine light is not one then this will not find any trouble codes. The dealer would know more about what to do about the issue you are having.

First you need to check if you have the right adapter to fit for your car. It gives you the general error but not the specific code, and you can reset to remove check engine light. But once the computer repopulates the information, the error can throw a code again

The one I bought I had to replace the on/ off switch. Found one at the local auto shop for 2 bucks.

Idk, but i bought these because its oem part and i didnt want to buy aftermarket. So these work and my check engine light went away but never come back on so it fixed the problem.

My experience was with a 2004 Camry. On line directions of closing door plus key in and out of ignition insert etc didn't work even after repeated tries. Of course this was after the key blank was cut at a hard wear store. Had to take cut key to a Toyota dealership and they programmed the key for me for about $65. Good luck.

No, but it helps. Make sure to use the defouler that comes with the header or else you will get the check engine light going off. And in case the CEL does go off don't panic it happens... a lot.

Probably if it appears to turn on it should fix your problem. I had the same problem and it fixed mine.

I know you definitely can reset any error light.. I'm pretty sure you can diagnose any issue as well.. This thing is much more advanced than your standard issues OBD tool. Check out the link http://www.bavariantechnic.com/

Yes, this device will clear your check engine light. It also has build in programs that will change performance settings, such as economy mode and performance modes.

Unless the cars software outputs a code specific to the problem no. And even then, if it does, wouldn't the mechanic have fixed it permanently? Go to an auto parts store and ask them to check for a code.

Yes It will pull any and all codes that trigger the check engine light. However you should get a list of codes that are model specific. Google it.

I'm not completely sure, as I'm no mechanic, but it sounds like a new ignition switch could cure this problem. I replaced this switch to try and solve GM's anti-theft problem. Maybe someone else would know more, but have you tried dry silicon on your current switch? I've used it on sticky house locks but don't know if it would affect the anti-theft sensor in the ignition switch. Wish I could be more help. Just remember. You'll end up with 2 keys if you buy this and don't have doors and trunk re-keyed (no big deal for me).

Try replacing the switch. It sounds like the circuit is closed which is causing the lights to be on continuously.It is a simple operation and much cheaper than taking it to the dealership.

What do u mean? You can select auto or not have it on . If yours doesn't work you would need to contact manufacturer.

Yes, it should work all cars built and sold after Jan 1, 1996. I have used it on my 2006 Toyota Camry. It will not and isn't made to reset the "maintenance required" light. It is used when the "check engine" light comes on and to read the diagnostic trouble codes. I haven't used it much since I have yet to have the "check engine" light to come on my 2006 Camry or 2001 Sienna yet.
