Check Engine Light Flashing

The check engine light flashing on a 2020 Toyota Highlander Hybrid typically indicates a severe misfire or a condition that could damage the catalytic converter. A flashing light is more urgent than a steady one because it often signals unburned fuel entering the exhaust, which raises temperatures and risks expensive downstream damage. At Nalley Toyota Union City our certified technicians prioritize flashing warnings, using Toyota-specific diagnostic tools to quickly identify whether the issue is ignition, fuel, or a hybrid system fault. We explain the repair options, show OEM parts and warranty coverage, and outline immediate and long-term savings — addressing the problem now prevents compounded costs later.

For fast service and transparent estimates, schedule appointment online and get peace of mind from factory-trained technicians who understand hybrid systems.
