2024 Toyota Grand Highlander Check Engine Light Flashing

A flashing check engine light signals an active misfire or severe engine issue that can rapidly damage the catalytic converter and other components. If you see a flashing light while driving, reduce load immediately—avoid hard acceleration and stop as soon as safely possible. Continuing to drive can escalate repair costs and may cause the vehicle to enter limp mode. Nalley Toyota Stonecrest recommends having the 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander towed to our service center rather than driving it in this condition. Our technicians prioritize flashing-light diagnostics, offer towing coordination, and complete repairs with OEM parts. For warranty-covered failures, service must be performed at a certified dealership to protect coverage and ensure the most economical long-term outcome.

2024 Toyota Grand Highlander Check Engine Light Codes

Common codes on a 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander include P0420 (catalyst efficiency), P0300 (random/multiple misfire), P0171 (system too lean), P0135 (O2 sensor heater), and P0442 (EVAP small leak). Left unattended, these issues can progress—misfires can damage pistons and the catalytic converter, driving repair costs from a few hundred dollars for sensors to $1,000–$2,500 or more for exhaust or converter replacement. EVAP leaks are often inexpensive if fixed early. Nalley Toyota Stonecrest performs accurate code analysis and prioritized repairs to minimize total costs. If your vehicle is under warranty, repairs must be completed at a certified dealership to preserve coverage and deliver the greatest immediate and long-term savings.

2024 Toyota Grand Highlander Check Engine Light Reset

Resetting a check engine light can be done with an OBD-II scanner, battery disconnect, or by resolving the underlying problem so the system clears the code. However, clearing codes without repairing the cause only masks symptoms and risks further damage. Nalley Toyota Stonecrest recommends allowing our technicians to diagnose and repair the root cause—our factory diagnostics, technical service bulletins, and OEM parts reduce repeat visits and overall ownership costs. If your repair is covered under warranty, work must be done at a certified dealership to maintain coverage. Choosing dealership service delivers measurable immediate savings via accurate repairs and long-term savings through preserved reliability and resale value.
