You can go to the internet and google code c1201 followed by the year, make, model, and engine of your vehicle.

you could also call a new car dealer and ask someone in the service department exactly what it is. be sure to write down EXACTLY what service tech says. then, you can google it and get the problem described in english.

SOURCE: check engine light on;engine codes p0420 and p0773

I looked up the codes you posted.
P0420 is showing a bad oxygen sensor on bank #1, the one down by the catalytic converter.
P0773 is an electrical problem with the shift solenoid E.
A bad oxygen sensor would cause lower fuel milage.

pull the E.F.I. fuse located under the hood on the drivers side, if there is more than 1 efi fuse pull them both along with the E.T.C.S. fuse (if there is one) for 1 minute or so. That should do it

SOURCE: The check engine light keeps coming on for a 1998 Toyota Avalon.

Did you buy the universal replacement sensor where you use the plug off of the old sensor and the splice kit? If so, that is most likely the issue. Had the same problem on a 2003 Avalon. Bought the ones with the plug and codes cleared. ps. Check Amazon.com, lots less expensive.

My 2009 Toyota Venza keeps shutting off when I am driving but it starts right back up after. My mechanic scanned it with his scanner and C1201 shows up.

C1201 is a secondary code. It means the ECU is not talking. There should be a primary code that indicates the actual failure. You may want to have a proper toyota tech check it.

My check engine light came on with 151,000 miles, would oil change make light come on could be a injector going bad?

Check engine light is an indicator that something is bad with your car and is recorded in your car's computer by mean of error code .

So we cannot pre assume what has caused the light to come on. We must perform a scan on the car and get to know the error code . Once the code is known then you can know the exact fault by means of the code and rectify the same. Most auto zone shop does the scanning for free.

What does picture of little red ?car engine mean

sounds like a check engine light, probably a bad sensor. get the vehicle computer codes read at an independent shop or dealership. you may be able to get the computer codes read at an auto-zone for free but you need someone who can interpret the code because it's rarely what the code actually says and if you get it read at auto-zone just don't buy the parts there. in my 16 years of professional automotive work i've had the worst luck with auto-zone parts and service than any other parts supplier.

What does it mean when my 2003 honda pilots check engine light comes on?

Hi, the check engine light will require you to have the engine CPU scanned for trouble code's. This can only be administered with the assistance of a diagnostic computer scan tool OBD II. You can purchase this tool, at your local auto parts store, or you can just have the scan ran at your local auto zone parts store, free of charge. Once the diagnostic scan is administered, you will be able to isolate the issues that have caused the check engine light.
This scan tool will display a print out code and the location of the issue, on the engine, as well. There are Many issues that will cause the engine light to illuminate, but the most common cause will be a failed monitoring sensor, or sensor harness failure(separated power wire, or ground).
After retrieving the code, it will be interpreted to know what caused the lights to come up and that will be used to fix the problem.

Check engine light came on temporay

often , if the check engine light goes off, it is usually caused by an intermittent condition, such as a cylinder misfire, or similar. One thing to try is to get your car scanned to see what code is stored. Most auto parts stores will scan your car for free, and let you know what has happened. This way you can get some knowledge towards solving your problem.
