NOT CABLE ON CAMRY 1996 FOR CODE FAULT READING HOW DO U FIND OUT WHY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS COMING ON

Your car stores computer fault codes in the engine/trans modules. They set the CHECK ENGINE light on to alert you a fault is now stored and there is a problem that requires diagnosis. You need to get the fault code scanned to proceed further. There are over 1300 DIFFERENT reasons to turn on the check engine light, some could be minor (a loose gascap), some major (CRANK SENSOR/CAM SENSOR CORRELATION...Car will stall when one finally fails!)
Checking the exact code is the only way to proceed.

There are several conditions which might cause this. The most imprtant thing is to see if there is a trouble code in the ECM, the computer. Is your check engine light blinking? If so get the ECM scanned to see what the trouble code is. Then you will have a good indication.
If the light is not blinking, check to see it has not failed by looking to see if it comes on then goes out when you start the engine.
Some thing which may cause this fault are
Manifold absolute pressure sensor fault (MAP sensor)
Fuel pump faulty - low pressure
Fuel pressure regulator faulty
Fuel injector faulty
Ignition fault, plug, wires, coil, igniter, distributor
So you can see the importance of narrowing this down. The ECM probably does have a code in it so try that first.

The information below was complied by me, it explains what causes the check engine light to come on and the process of finding the cause.
When the Check Engine light (or Service Engine Soon) is turned on, the systems computer control unit (called the PCM) has sensed a fault in the electronic controls of the engine and/or the emission system. When this happens you will seldom feel the car engine run any different, in your case you have a stall, so knowing the fault code(s) is even more important to aid in diagnostics. There are about 200 possible system faults (the gas cap is just one of them) that turn the Check Engine light on, to know what has developed a problem you must have the system tested, this is called an OBD2 fault code test, Kragen/Oriley and Autozone parts stores (USA only) do this testing for free.

that code is not a code for a toyota camry, please check the code again. for futher help please call 419 689 1114

check plugs wires and distributor....coil didn't fix it cause it wasn't the coil.

Yeah? What's your point. Look, it's a 13-year old car, if the check engine light is on, you need to take it to a mechanic. It's not something that can be solved by somebody on the internet.

there is a possibility of a short to the bulb... he is putting the scanner on it and clearing the code,,,,or he is just undoing the battery cable, making light go off for a bit, and then coming back on. Consider taking it to a different mechanic. but if ur check engine light is on, there is a reason its on, or a short to bulb

how I change the EGR valve assist switch for toyota camry 2000

Remove the positive battery cable, step on brake for 10 seconds, then reconnect cable. This clears your ECM of the fault code, but will not eliminate the fault (which, will reset and re-light the "check engine" bulb within 50 miles if it is really a defective component).

On my 2006 you set the odometer to the normal odometer mode using the button on the dash. When you get that setting, hold the button down until the display flashes. Once it begins to flash, let go of the button and then push it again. The light should then go out.
