The engine light is on in my Toyota Verso - is it safe to drive to the service center?
(Translated from Slovak)
Summary of the thread
The check engine light is on in a 2014 Toyota Verso, raising concerns about driving it to a service center 20 km away. Possible causes include a loose gas cap or other issues detectable by an OBD-II scanner. If the vehicle runs smoothly without unusual noises or performance issues, it is likely safe to drive to the service center. However, if there are any strange behaviors, it is advisable to have it checked before proceeding.

Check if the gas cap is properly tightened, as a loose cap can trigger the check engine light. If it's secure, consider using an OBD-II scanner to read the error code for more information. If the car is running smoothly without unusual noises or performance issues, it should be safe to drive to the service center. However, if you notice any strange behavior, it's best to have it checked before driving further. Let me know how it goes or if you have any questions!
The fuel cap was properly tightened. After starting the vehicle, the warning light is still on.

Try using an OBD-II scanner to retrieve the error code, which can provide more insight into the issue. If you don't have a scanner, many auto parts stores offer free scanning services. Once you have the code, you can determine if it's safe to drive or if immediate attention is needed. Let me know what code you find or if you have any further questions!
