Hello there, first time poster here. I have a 2000 Land Cruiser V8 and I live in Africa. So my mechanic may not be the best trained in the world. I recently had my oil changed and about a day later, the check engine light came on. I checked the air filter and CCV sensor and everything is hooked up. I reset the battery by disconnecting the neg terminal. That worked and the light went off. I took for a drive to make sure everything was back to normal. About 30 mins into the drive - on goes the Check Engine light again.


So my question is could have the local African mechanic forgot to reset or reconnect something else? Is ther something I could check real quick before taking it back in. This is an American spec SUV brought to Africa. It's been running fine since we got here last year. I do not notice any performance decrease. I checked the oil and it is full and clean. This is the first oil change we've had here so I don't have any prior experience with maintainance over here.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Brad

You would need to have the code pulled from the computer. Not sure how easy it is to get your hand on a code reader. I would check to make sure the gas cap in on correctly too, sometimes that causes the light to come on.
