Sorry, I'm not always getting email notifications. Sorry for not replying.
Thanks to everyone for there input, much appreciated.
Since my 1st request for HELP, the lights not come back on.
Should I still got to Toyota and get it checked? I have a booking for this Thursday. Will the report show if there has been any recent errors?
Thanks.

Personally, I think a Toyota dealer is an expensive way to get the codes read. You could buy a cable and software for your laptop for 20 quid and then read them as many times as you want. The codes will be in the history on the ECU. Or if your car is new enough and standard OBDII protocols work, a reader is about £10 and you use a free app for your phone to see the codes.
Your right I should do this.
I be grateful if you give me links to what I need to purchase. Mine is a LC4 120 2005.
I'll cancel my booking at Toyota.
Many thanks
Gary
2005 might work with generic OBDII, but it might not. Mine doesn't. But Techstream will work, and will do lots of stuff OBDII won't if you are doing stuff like changing injectors and want to test for fuel leaks. I had mine from this seller.

And very usefully he says he now has drivers for 64 bit Windows which will save a lot of messing about if you don't have an old XP machine to put it on, which I didn't.
HI
Finally got the software up and running. The engine light came on again today. 1st time in a week.

This is the error that was showing.
This is probably a dum question, but if the fuel pump had a fault, would the car stop running?
If anyone could shed some light on the above, I be grateful.

Hi
I just did a quick test this evening, let me have more of a play tomorrow and I'll get back to you.
Is there any settings I should check on the software setup, to make sure I'm getting the correct data?>
Thanks for your help.
