2016 Toyota 4Runner Check Engine Light Reset

The check engine light reset process for a 2016 Toyota 4Runner begins with a thorough diagnostic scan — not simply clearing codes. At Larry H. Miller Toyota Peoria we explain why a reset alone can mask underlying issues and lead to repeat warnings or long-term damage. Our technicians use OEM-level diagnostic tools to capture codes, live data, and freeze-frame information so the true cause is addressed. After repair, we verify the fix by driving and re-scanning before any code is cleared to ensure the condition won’t return. This transparent approach reduces immediate and future costs, helps maintain factory warranties, and protects resale value. We use genuine Toyota parts and update vehicle software when necessary, and we make it easy to schedule service or take advantage of current service specials. If a diagnosed repair is covered by warranty, it must be completed at a certified dealership; our team handles warranty paperwork for you and offers service financing when you need flexible payment options.
