Frequently Asked Questions

What is the most common reason for check engine light on a 2027 Toyota Sequoia?

• Oxygen sensor failures (poor fuel trim and emissions alerts) are very common on SUVs and will trigger the light.
• Ignition issues such as worn spark plugs or faulty coils cause misfires and frequent codes like P0300.
• Exhaust and catalytic converter efficiency codes (e.g., P0420) can follow untreated misfires or aging components.
• Evaporative system leaks (loose or damaged gas cap, purge valve issues) often produce inexpensive fixes if serviced early.
• At Nalley Toyota Stonecrest we diagnose the root cause with factory tools so you avoid repeated trips and higher long-term costs.

What does it mean when the check engine light comes on in a 2027 Toyota Sequoia?

• It indicates the vehicle’s onboard diagnostics detected a fault — anything from minor emissions issues to serious engine misfires.
• Some causes are benign (loose gas cap); others can affect safety, fuel economy, or emissions compliance.
• Our factory-trained technicians use OEM diagnostic equipment to read codes, inspect systems and recommend repairs with transparent pricing.
• Repairs covered by warranty must be completed at a certified dealership to ensure coverage and documented service history.

What is the first thing to check when the check engine light comes on?

• Check the gas cap: a loose or damaged cap is a frequent, inexpensive cause of an engine light on SUVs.
• Note any drivability changes (loss of power, rough idle, stalling) and do not ignore flashing lights — they can signal serious issues.
• Check oil level and recent fuel type; running low or using incorrect fuel can trigger codes.
• Schedule a proper diagnostic at Nalley Toyota Stonecrest so factory tools and genuine parts restore reliability and protect warranty coverage.
