In your 2007 Toyota Camry, the check engine light serves as a warning from the car's computer system indicating that there may be an issue. It could be something minor like an improperly tightened gas cap, or it could signal a more serious problem. The light has two modes: a steady illumination usually points to a less critical issue, such as the gas cap, while a flashing light requires immediate attention as it implies a major engine problem. In the case of a flashing light, it is recommended by Toyota that you stop driving the car and have it towed to the dealer right away.
The illuminated check engine light could indicate issues such as a faulty oxygen sensor, an improperly secured gas cap, or a malfunctioning engine.
If the light isn't flashing red, go ahead and drive it for a check-up. But if it's flashing red, make sure to have it towed in!
