Check Engine Light Diagnosis Service

Understanding Check Engine Light

The check engine light on the dashboard of your Toyota is designed to monitor the ignition, fuel, engine, exhaust, and other systems of your vehicle. If this diagnostic system detects a problem or malfunction, it will switch on. Unfortunately, this system will not specify the problem, which is why you need to get a check engine light diagnostic at a Toyota service center. We highly recommend you don’t rely on aftermarket scanning devices to do the diagnostic service yourself, as it can lead to incorrect diagnoses. In any case, you will not only need to identify the issue but also fix it, so it is better to drive your Toyota to us at Route 22 Toyota, where we carry professional-grade scanning devices and offer the services of Toyota-trained technicians.

Check Engine Light Diagnosis Triggers

If you are wondering what has caused the check engine light to switch on, there are several triggers of this light. It could be an issue with the catalytic converter, gas cap, oxygen sensor, mass airflow (MAF) sensor, exhaust leak, and more. If the check engine light is blinking, that is typically an indicator that there is a more urgent issue with your Toyota and you should waste any time in getting a diagnostic service. If the light is steady, you might have more time, but we still recommend you don’t delay getting your Toyota inspected.
