yet another check engine light
2000 4runner- the light came on (just the check engine light), while i was driving down the highway. Does this mean there is an problem specifically related to the engine or tranny? Is there any other likely case that my powertrain warranty will not cover?

There could be a number of causes, and not necessarily powertrain related. Not familiar with 2000, so I do not know if you can check diagnostic codes yourself. First, I would check your owner's manual. If you cannot check the codes yourself, take it to Autozone. They can check codes for FREE and tell you what caused the engine check light to come on. Stealership will charge you $60+ just to do that. Once you know what the failure code is, you will be able to figure out if it is covered by your warranty... The dealership will be able to tell you that. I do not know what warranty 2000 Toyota would have left, probably depends on your mileage... but it is certainly worth a try.
