If the check engine light of your 2016 Toyota Camry illuminates on the dashboard, the first step is to safely pull over to prevent any potential damage to your engine. Once you have stopped, use an OBD II scan tool to retrieve the error codes stored in the ECU. Among the frequent causes of a check engine light coming on is a loose gas cap, which can cause a significant vacuum leak to trigger the alert. Ensure the cap is secure, and if not, consider replacing it as they can deteriorate over time.
