Your car suddenly accelerated to full throttle while you were slowly driving out of a parking lot, causing it to speed across the street and crash head-on into a fence. A "Check Engine" warning appeared on the dashboard indicating a malfunction in the electronic control of the engine, throttle, or automatic transmission. The crash resulted in whiplash and injuries requiring emergency room treatment. Diagnosis and repair will require a full inspection of the engine control system, throttle system, and transmission electronics by a Toyota dealer.

Your instrument cluster display (the screen that shows your speed, fuel level, and odometer) has stopped working completely. You can't see how fast you're going, how much fuel is left, or other important driving information. The fix will likely involve diagnosing the electrical connection to the display or replacing the instrument cluster unit itself.
