2026 Toyota Sienna Check Engine Light Flashing

A flashing check engine light usually signals an active engine misfire that can send unburned fuel into the exhaust and damage the catalytic converter. This condition requires immediate attention—avoid heavy acceleration and have the vehicle towed or driven gently to Toyota of Greenville. Our technicians will prioritize a safe diagnosis to protect the emissions system and limit repair scope. Prompt service minimizes severe downstream costs such as catalytic converter replacement, which can be substantially more expensive than addressing the initial misfire. Repairs covered under warranty must be completed at a certified dealership to preserve coverage and deliver long-term savings.

2026 Toyota Sienna Check Engine Light Reset

Resetting the check engine light can be done with an OBD-II scanner or by disconnecting the battery, but clearing codes without fixing the underlying issue can mask problems and risk warranty denial. At Toyota of Greenville we perform a full diagnostic, complete necessary repairs with OEM parts, and clear codes only after confirming the fault is resolved. This approach protects your vehicle and your warranty, and it prevents repeat visits. Factory-trained technicians use Toyota-specific tools that ensure accurate resets and correct system relearns, providing immediate and long-term savings versus ad-hoc resets at non-certified shops.

2026 Toyota Sienna Check Engine Light Codes

Common codes include misfire codes (P0300 series), O2 sensor codes (P0135/P0136), catalytic efficiency codes (P0420), fuel trim or vacuum issues (P0171/P0174), and EVAP leak codes (P0455). Left unfixed, misfires can ruin catalytic converters (replacement can range from several hundred to over a thousand dollars), failed O2 sensors reduce fuel economy and performance, and EVAP leaks can lead to emissions failures. Addressing codes early at Toyota of Greenville limits repair scope and cost; our diagnostics and OEM repairs often result in lower lifetime ownership costs and ensure warranty-eligible service is properly documented and performed.
