Mine keeps coming on also and it shows up as a yellow check engine =
light.  I had no idea it shows up in red for different problems.  What =
does Red mean?  I refuse to pay Toyota $40 to hook it up to the computer =
for that silly light anymore.   AutoZone will check it for FREE. =20

  If the CEL is yellow (not red), the most likely problem is a faulty
  seal on your gascap.  Get another gas cap and see if that solves the
  problem.
