Help> installed TRD Supercharger today> Check engine & VSC TRAC light on

Installed an SC today- had a fantastic 100 miles on way home from dealer- took it nice and easy but definately happy for the increase in HP.... Then just before I get home my dash lights up... Everything sounds and looks ok to me... no leakage... Any knowledge? Of course I'll contact my dealer but also need to drive it in the AM....

Take it to the dealer and have them read the code the computer is throwing. Mine did something similar and it was one of the O2 sensors near the rear cat. Check you fuel cap also.

If it took that long before the check engine light came on, it could to be an a/f sensor, or like what gagmac said, rear o2 sensor or fuel cap.

You're in SB and installed a super charger....Can I see it? Did you have the dealer install it? If so, who did you use. Don't mean to hijack the thread...However, I have a scanguage....I could read the code for you if you like.
