2024 Toyota 4Runner Check Engine Light Flashing

A flashing check engine light on a 2024 Toyota 4Runner signals a potential severe engine or emissions problem that requires immediate attention. Flashing usually indicates active misfire, catalytic converter risk, or conditions that could damage the engine if driven. Do not ignore it; pull over when safe and limit driving. At Toyota of Greenville our factory-trained technicians use OEM diagnostics to pinpoint causes quickly, reducing repair time and cost. Because untended flashing issues can escalate into expensive repairs, addressing them promptly often saves money long term. Repairs covered under warranty must be completed at a certified dealership to retain coverage. Schedule an urgent inspection to protect performance, fuel economy, and towing capability.

2024 Toyota 4Runner Check Engine Light Reset

Resetting the check engine light on a 2024 Toyota 4Runner can be simple or misleading. Clearing codes without fixing the underlying issue only silences the lamp temporarily and may mask problems that affect safety, emissions, or fuel economy. Our dealership offers comprehensive diagnostics that identify root causes and confirm proper repair before resetting the system. Using OEM tools and factory procedures ensures a reliable reset and maintains any warranty eligibility; remember, warranty-covered repairs must be performed at a certified dealership. Choosing Toyota of Greenville often costs less than independent shops over time because we prevent repeat failures, use genuine parts, and document repairs correctly for resale value and long-term ownership savings.

2024 Toyota 4Runner Check Engine Light Codes

Common codes on a 2024 Toyota 4Runner include P0300-series misfires, P0420 catalytic efficiency, P0171/P0174 fuel trim lean conditions, and oxygen sensor faults. Ignoring a P0300 misfire can lead to cylinder damage and costly repairs typically ranging from simple ignition service to engine repair costing thousands. Unresolved P0420 may damage the catalytic converter, a high-cost component. Fuel-trim or oxygen sensor issues left unchecked reduce fuel economy and can harm emissions systems over time. At Toyota of Greenville we diagnose codes precisely, explain repair options, and provide transparent cost estimates. Opting for dealership repairs often saves money long term through correct fixes, warranty protection, and factory-trained technicians using OEM parts to prevent repeat failures.
