2026 Toyota Highlander Check Engine Light Reset
Resetting the check engine light on a 2026 Toyota Highlander may be a temporary fix if the underlying fault remains. At Larry H. Miller Toyota Murray, we explain why a reset alone is rarely the best approach: a code reset without repair can erase diagnostic history needed to identify intermittent faults and may mask problems that will return. Our service process prioritizes root-cause diagnosis using OEM tools and Toyota-specific procedures so your Highlander receives the correct repair the first time. Choosing our dealership ensures genuine Toyota parts, warranty protection, and certified technicians who document repairs properly to keep your vehicle’s service history intact. We provide clear, itemized estimates and highlight both immediate and long-term savings — repairing the true fault now avoids repeat visits and expensive downstream failures. For convenience, check available service specials and schedule service online; our advisors will help you plan timing, discuss warranty coverage, and explain service financing options so you can get necessary work done without delay.
2026 Toyota Highlander Check Engine Light Codes
Common check engine light codes for the 2026 Toyota Highlander in Murray include P0420 (catalyst system efficiency), P0300–P0304 (random/multiple cylinder misfires), P0171/P0174 (fuel trim lean conditions), and various oxygen or mass air flow sensor codes. At Larry H. Miller Toyota Murray our technicians interpret these codes in context — a P0420 may stem from a failing catalytic converter or from upstream issues like misfires that damage the converter over time. Ignoring codes can lead to costly repairs: a simple sensor replacement is far less expensive than replacing a catalytic converter or repairing engine damage caused by unresolved misfires. Our dealership offers diagnostic accuracy, fast turnaround, and OEM parts to restore performance and maximize longevity for your Highlander. We often provide better overall value than independent shops by combining Toyota factory training, documented service records, and honest estimates that emphasize long-term ownership savings. Review our service specials, then schedule service to get a precise diagnosis and protect your vehicle investment.
