Check Engine Light Flashing

The check engine light flashing on a 2027 Toyota Highlander signals an active misfire or a condition that may cause catalytic converter damage if driven. This is a higher-severity alert than a steady light and requires immediate attention. At Larry H. Miller Toyota Peoria in Peoria, AZ, our factory-trained technicians prioritize flashing codes, using Toyota OEM diagnostic tools to pinpoint ignition, fuel, or sensor failures quickly. Quick diagnosis prevents collateral damage — for example, unaddressed misfires can overheat and damage the catalytic converter, turning a relatively affordable ignition repair into a costly emissions-system replacement. We explain options clearly, show parts pricing, and provide factory parts with warranty coverage when repairs are performed at our certified facility. Take advantage of our rotating service specials and ask about loyalty benefits. If you see a flashing light, do not delay: schedule appointment online now to protect performance and avoid expensive downstream repairs.

2027 Toyota Highlander Check Engine Light Reset

Resetting the check engine light on a 2027 Toyota Highlander can be done momentarily by addressing the root cause and clearing codes, but a simple reset without repair often means the condition will return — and it may mask warranty-related issues. At Larry H. Miller Toyota Peoria we reset codes only after repairs or confirmed non-critical faults, documenting the diagnosis and recommended repairs so you understand the work performed. Choosing our dealership ensures transparency, OEM parts, and technician certification that preserves warranties and long-term value. Independent shops may offer quick resets, but our approach focuses on durable fixes and preventive maintenance that yield immediate and long-term savings. We also provide service financing to let you get necessary repairs done today and pay over time. Review current service specials and schedule service to keep your Highlander running reliably.

2027 Toyota Highlander Check Engine Light Codes

Common check engine light codes for the 2027 Toyota Highlander include P0420 (catalyst system efficiency), P0300 (random/multiple cylinder misfire), P0171/P0174 (fuel trim lean condition), and P0130–P0167 series O2/sensor faults. Ignoring these codes can escalate costs: a P0300 misfire left untreated risks catalytic converter failure ($1,000+), while persistent P0420 issues signal converter inefficiency and possible emissions failure during inspection. At Larry H. Miller Toyota Peoria, we translate codes into clear repair plans and cost-effective solutions using genuine Toyota parts and factory procedures. Our shop in Peoria, AZ offers comfortable waiting areas, efficient check-in, and quick turnaround to minimize disruption to your day.
