  1. Thanks for the replies! Unfortunately I'm not very DIY, so the quick and easy way might be the go. I'll visit Super Cheap when they open tomorrow morning. I really appreciate your help!
  2. Hi all, I recently purchased a 2011 Aurion AT-X with 100,000KM on the clock. Yesterday I took it to my local Midas (Would have preferred Toyota dealer, but I was short on time and this was local) to have it's 105,000KM service. They said everything looked good but recommended a power steering fluid flush and an induction service to be carried out soon. Apparently there is a build up of carbon which could cause issues if left unattended. This morning the check engine and traction control lights were on. I went back to Midas so they could run a scan. They said the check engine light was due to a faulty oxygen sensor, most likely due to the carbon build up. He was somewhat surprised it happened so soon and did another scan, which showed the same result. I asked what caused the traction control light to be on and he said 'Toyota's light up like a Christmas tree when there is a fault, so it's just related to the oxygen sensor.' He cleared the error and said if it comes back I should get an induction service ($160) and if that doesn't work, get the oxygen sensor replaced. Both lights returned as I drove off. Unfortunately I am a complete novice, but does this sound right? Or is he having me on? It just seems to convenient that these lights suddenly appear immediately after the service? Thanks, Jonathan
