2012 Toyota FJ Cruiser Check Engine Light Codes

Common diagnostic trouble codes for the 2012 Toyota FJ Cruiser include P0420 (catalyst efficiency below threshold), P0300 (random/multiple cylinder misfire), P0442 (evaporative emission system small leak), and P0171 (system too lean).

2012 Toyota FJ Cruiser Check Engine Light Reset

Resetting the check engine light on a 2012 Toyota FJ Cruiser requires more than clearing codes — proper service confirms the cause and prevents repeat illumination. At Larry H.

This approach prevents unnecessary replacements and provides immediate and long-term savings compared with quick resets that ignore root causes. Our technicians document findings, explain warranty implications, and apply dealership-only diagnostic resources that independent shops often lack.
