service engine light @ 9000 mi?

If the car stalled and the SES light came on take it to the dealer and have them check the code.

Regardless if it's just the oil warning or not your engine should not stall... the light should just flash

I wonder if it a problem on Canadian Yarii. Has anyone else heard of this fix?

i took it in, they cleared the code, it came on again.

i took it back, they quoted me 4 weeks for parts, i called toyota corprate and complained, three days later i had me car back with new parts installed.

i talked to toyota about a recall, they said that they will have to see after perfoming a failure analysis on my parts to which i heard nothing back.

i do failure analysis for Caterpillar/Finning international so i had a look at the parts and they were not in the greatest of shape. it looked like it may have been a thrust issue in the cams or the VVT-i slack adjusters pushing the chain from side to side as the sides of each sproket showed signs of wear, but it was non-failed. the hall effect sensor that is the cam position sensor had some debris denting as small filings from the sprokets had passed through...

I wouldn't want small filings floating around my engine!
