Check engine light. Help!
Check engine light. Help!
Hey guys so on the way to the gym when i was backing into a spot my check engine light turned on. I pop the hood everything seems fine no wires disconnected and no leaks. What do you think it is? The car has 87k miles and i just got it two days ago 
Is this something i should be worried about? Any help would be appreciated. Worst case i have to take it to the stealer... Thanks alot guys i know its not alot of info but suggestions could help!

Yup, get the code. The P044x numbers have been quite popular involving the charcoal canister...
OBDII Codes
involving the charcoal canister...OBDII Codes
First go to autozone for the free scan, Than go to lexus.com and go to "owners" in the bottom left screen. Type in your VIN# and any work from a Lexus dealer will be on there.. Hope the seller didn't rig something up just to sell the car

I'm going to say it's an o2 sensor... Bank 1, Sensor 2 (heater circuit).
and do you pump your gas with the engine running? If you do, it creates something like a vacuum. Try removing the gas cap with the engine off and then put it back on. That may be the cause of the CEL.
