Took vehicle in for mandatory state e-check to renew license plate tags. check engine light was on and therefore, would automatically fail inspection. e-check attendant ran test anyhow as a diagnostic check. results indicated emmisions problem. took vehicle along with e-check results to conrad's for repair. mechanic found no emissions trouble. mechanic did find faulty central computer in vehicle responsible for false results and suggested possibility of other warning lights, indicators, and guages could be affected. conrad's found bulletin statement from toyota admitting 1999 corolla computer failure, however no recall. toyota has been contacted by owner, as well as conrad's, and verified they are aware of problem. toyota has not assumed cost for replacement, estimated at $1200.00. vehicle can not pass e-check until computer is replaced, therefore, tags can not be renewed, even though there is no emission trouble.
