thanks
I appreciate for any helps or ideas.
Question: Is it worth it? I might get it cheap at other service stations.
Are there any pros/cons either way?
Thanks.
Problem starts after wash the engine, engine yellow light show up in dash. Driving fine under 60Km
But refuse to speed up to 100km looks like gear shift don’ want to go in 4th gear.
I went to my garage mechanics check with computer and got Code# P2770. He don’t know because description wasn’t available on his computer any way he rest and yellow engine light going.
Then I test the car on highway everything is fine car went over to 100Km. now next morning on start my day again engine check light show up.
I just find out Code#P2770 desecration: DSL Solenoid Circuit High (Shift Solenoid Valve DSL) Electronic controlled automatic transmission (ECT)
Please advise me how I can fix this problem. What need to replace.
by the way if i want to clean engine So, what is best way to clean?
Thanks
Thanks for all the replys. What I did is:
Took the maintenance manual to a local oil-change shop, and showed him what is recommended for the 30K service. He separately priced each item mentioned there, and offered me a total price lower than $100, which was much lower than what a dealer would have charged.

Same thing happened, I stopped at stop sign, and could not start it again. What had happened is: the ignition module, a small electronic chip that controls the ignition had failed. It cost me about $75 to replace it.
Took the car back to my mechanic who couldn't duplicate the noise (naturally). He took the brakes apart and inspected the front end and the noise was gone....for about 2 weeks. It's back again.
Grateful for any ideas.
Should the service be based on miles or time or whatever is reached first ?
Any advice will be highly appreciated.
Thanks
when i press the alarm button so the car unlocks, the greenn light on the alarm works but nothing happens to my car, it doesnt make any sound and the doors dont unlock.
i unlocked the car by the key, normally this would set the alarm off, but it didnt???
so i put the key in the ignition and it turns but doesnt do a damn thing! no noise at all.
also the buttons that open and close the doors automatically dont work. normally when im in the car and everything is normal the button that locks all the doors work without me even putting the key in the ignition.
whats wrong with my car? please help me!
Scheduled maintenance doesn't have to be done by a dealer--it can be done by ANYONE who has the skill to do it--some other mechanic, even the owner if so inclined. Just be sure to keep all receipts, not only in case of a warranty claim but it helps with resale--buyers like to see that a car was well maintained.
Toyota does caution on its Web site, however, that "Repairs and adjustments to your vehicle caused by lack of proper maintenance are not covered under your new vehicle warranty. In addition, repairs and adjustments caused by improper maintenance or the use of fluids other than those specified in your Owner's Manual are not covered under your warranty." I wonder why they'd even have that clause since an owner could always say, "I did all the required maintenance" (whether they did or not) and all Toyota could do is say, "Oh. OK then."
There are a few extra service items at 30k and 60k, but interestingly replacing engine coolant isn't one of them--just inspecting it. Modern cars like the 2009 Corolla really have reduced the maintenance requirements, haven't they? Might be a good idea to have the 60k service done a bit early--before the 60k powertrain warranty runs out.
I'm having the exact same problem with my 2007 Corolla.
