My warning light on the top right hand side of the dashboard has come on. I checked my manual and it says that either my gas tank is empty (it isn't) or my cap is loose (it isn't) or there could be a transmission problem. I only have 40K miles on the car and have it serviced regularly. What could the problem be???

Thanks for the information...you were exactly right. I took my car in and it's the charcoal cannister (emissions)...I also found out that there is a design flaw in the corolla with this particular part. Thanks for your help.

mjblue84, December 17, 2009, 13:23ReplyRookieWell, it still is an "ouch"...the total cost will be $441 to repair. The part alone is $350...I am trying to see if I can purchase the Toyota part outside of Nevada. The dealership here is a rip off. But, I am thankful that the problem was found and your information helped to find it quickly...so thanks for that.
