Default Check engine lights

Use the search on this site regarding the idiot lights. Much has been reported. My 2006 rx350 had the same lights come on. I found out my daughter left the engine running while gassing up and kept forcing the gas after it stopped. You shouldnt top off like that. Anyway after 2 weeks they went off by themselves. Hasnt happened since
good luck and do a search

^ ditto on the vacuum hose by the air box. Was your car serviced at all recently? Every time I check the air filter, I pull off a vacuum hose. If it is not put back on, these lights will light up within a couple of days.

Check it out..

Do a search, this could be the brake switch. Covered under warranty. I just did mine.

You have an 07 but your miles are over 50K, you will have to get the switch replaced. The switch is less than $20 at Autozone, I heard. There's a post detailing the part number. Easy fix if you are a DIY person, otherwise, take it in to a shop, will not cost you more than $100.

And welcome!

maybe one of your 0xygen sensors are bad, I just had a similar problem with my 4runner and it was the pre-cat O2 sensor. Get your car scanned and see what the error number is and that will point you in the right direction on the problem.
