What does it mean when my maintenance and check engine lights are both on?

Asked by leapoffaith79 Mar 13, 2014 at 01:27 PM about the 2005 Toyota Corolla S

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

About three weeks ago my maintenance required light began to flash five times every time I started my car. I looked that up and it said it had to do with the oil. I had gotten an oil change 1,000 miles previous, so I drove on it thinking maybe they just didn't reset it. I wound up driving like that for a few weeks, then decided to get an oil change anyways, and now the light is staying on. Yesterday I heard a loud squealing noise for a moment, two hours later the check engine light comes on as well. I am not sure if the two are related. I have about 99,000 miles on it so I am a bit concerned.

Are your brake pads worn? There are clips that squeal if your pads are worn.

My 2003 Toyota Corolla with 175,000 miles was showing the check engine light. My friend ran a check and the code P0770 came up, which is Shift Solenoid 'E' Malfunction. When I'm on the freeway, I do notice my car is slow on accelerating, but my MPG is fine. How much would it cost to get this fix? Also, would I fail the California SMOG check? My friend removed the check engine light and it hasn't reappeared (It's been a good 500 miles without it reappearing, but my car is still slow at accelerating). Thanks guys! 11 Answers
