2010 Toyota Highlander Sport Check Engine Light Reset

A check engine light reset on a 2010 Toyota Highlander Sport can be done, but resetting without correcting the root cause is only a temporary fix and may mask persistent faults. At Larry H.

Our technicians document the cause, offer transparent pricing, and explain warranty protections and long-term savings of dealership repairs versus quick resets. Using genuine Toyota parts preserves performance and resale value; our service lanes are equipped to complete repairs quickly with minimal downtime. If you just need the light reset after a confirmed repair, we include that in the service and walk you through maintenance steps to avoid repeat occurrences.

2010 Toyota Highlander Sport Check Engine Light Codes

Common check engine light codes for the 2010 Toyota Highlander Sport include P0420 (catalyst efficiency), P0300 (random/multiple misfires), P0171/P0174 (lean condition), and various oxygen sensor or EVAP system codes.

At Larry H.

Choosing our dealership often results in immediate and long-term savings by preventing secondary damage and maximizing fuel efficiency.
