If your check engine light comes on while driving your Toyota Matrix, it's important to pull over as soon as possible. Continuing to drive could cause permanent damage to your engine. Once stopped, you'll need to use an OBD II scan tool to read the code stored in the ECU, which will indicate the faulty component that needs replacing. While you can use the scan tool to clear the code and turn off the check engine light, this is usually only a temporary fix. If the underlying issue isn't resolved, the error will likely reoccur.
