05 Camry, XLE V6 3.0

Today I was driving on the highway on my 05 Camry XLE, which has about



11 k miles on it and the Check Engine light came on - along with the VSC and TRAC OFF light.

Any 05 Camry owners here experiencing the same problem?



Could the reason be the Heated Oxygen Sensor wiring? I see that the wiring harnesses for heated oxygen sensors are near the oil filter. I change my own oils, could it be possible that the dirty oil got into the wiring connectors causing electrical problems for the check engine light to occur? I don't know what the VSC and TRAC off would have anything to do with that. But anyway.



If thats the case, than I'm guessing every 05 camry's would be having the same probs.



If that's not it, there's nothing Ive done except drive the vehicle for this to occur..



One more question. Would using aftermarket oil filter (Valvoline Max Life) void warranty? :)



Thank you. I'd appreciate any help.

It would not void the warranty in the US (by law) unless they could prove that it was defective AND caused the problem. If you suspect that they might do that, take some photos of it before getting warranty service.

Tighten the gas cap would me my first guess. Did you just get gas recently?

That's the first thing I did after the light came on, was to check the cap and it was already tight.

I still don't know what caused it...but everythings good now. Another thing I can think of was over filling the gas tank.

The lights are off now, and everythings good now though. Went off by itself after a little driving..

I had similar happen on my 02 Highlander - was a vacuum hose on bottom of air filter housing I had knocked off while changing air filter Ron

When you tighten the gas cap, make sure you twist until you hear several clicks. If the light went off by itself, a loose gas cap is a very likely suspect.

Check your tire pressures. If unequal they could confuse the VSC and Traction control. Also make sure tires are wearing evenly.
