Error display and check engine lamp on Toyota Crown 2018: experience and solutions wanted

Check engine light on

|

Warning light in the speedometer of the vehicle

|

Fault stored

Hello everyone, I have a problem with my 2018 Toyota Crown (petrol engine, 281,069 km). The check engine light is on, the warning light in the speedometer is also showing an error, and the error memory is also reporting something. I suspect that it has something to do with the fuel filler flap being unlocked incorrectly on the display. Has anyone had similar problems with their car and what was their experience with the mechanic? I had a bad experience with my last garage and want to make sure I have better luck this time. Thanks for your help!

Hi, I had a similar problem with my 2015 Toyota Auris last year. The messages were similar and according to the garage my linkage was faulty. It wasn't an easy job as it required a lot of manual labor to get to the faulty part and replace it, but it was quite doable. You might have to find a mechanic who is good at this sort of thing. Don't let it stress you out though, it's an annoying problem but not a serious one. Your car will run better than ever afterwards! Good luck and happy wrenching!

Hey, thanks for your quick reply! Sounds like it was a real pain in the ass for you too, but you sound pretty happy with it. Can you remember how much you had to pay for your repair? And were there any more problems afterwards or was that it? Greetings!

Hey, of course I remember how much I paid, you don't forget that so quickly! It cost me €210 for all the fuss with the faulty linkage. It was a bit steep, but what won't you do for your favorite car, right? To be honest, I can't complain, because after the visit to the mechanic, the fault with the fuel filler flap unlocking was finally history. Since then I've had nothing more, everything runs like clockwork. Bye bye!

Hey, that sounds quite fair. I would have expected even more for such a fiddly job. Good to know that the problem was solved afterwards and your car is running well. Thank you very much, that was really helpful. I'll see which mechanic in my area can do it. Bye and thanks again!
