Check Engine Light Flashing

A flashing check engine light on your 2016 Toyota Mirai is a sign of an urgent fault — one that can affect safety, fuel-cell operation, or high-voltage systems. A steady light often indicates a less-critical issue, but a flashing indicator typically points to active misfires, electrical faults, or serious component failures that require immediate attention. At Larry H. Miller Toyota Peoria in Peoria, AZ, our certified Toyota technicians prioritize safety and accurate diagnosis. We employ factory diagnostic tools designed specifically for the Mirai’s hydrogen fuel-cell and high-voltage systems, allowing us to identify causes that generic scanners can miss. Ignoring a flashing light can lead to reduced range, further damage to power electronics or the fuel-cell stack, and higher repair bills. To protect your Mirai and avoid compounding problems, we recommend bringing the vehicle in right away. Review current service specials, then schedule service online for fast, transparent repairs and guidance.

Our Toyota-certified technicians use OEM tools and software to clear codes only after confirming the issue has been repaired, preserving diagnostic history and warranty validity. Choosing dealership service gives you documented repairs, genuine Toyota parts, and the peace of mind that warranty-covered fixes remain valid — repairs covered under warranty must be performed at a certified dealership.

2016 Toyota Mirai Check Engine Light Codes

The 2016 Toyota Mirai can present codes tied to emissions sensors, high-voltage electrics, fuel-cell system monitors, or accessory sensors. Common code categories include sensor circuit faults (which impact efficiency and emissions monitoring), fuel-cell stack or hydrogen system warnings (which can limit range and require specialist attention), and power electronics or battery-related codes that affect drivability. Left unaddressed, these faults can reduce the Mirai’s range, create safety hazards, and escalate to costly component replacements. At Larry H. Miller Toyota Peoria our team explains the impact and cost of letting each code go unresolved — from decreased efficiency that costs more in energy/fueling to expensive repairs if a fuel-cell or inverter is damaged. We emphasize convenience and transparency: quick diagnosis, clear estimates, OEM parts, and certified workmanship.
