Check Engine Light Flashing

A flashing check engine light on a 2021 Toyota Land Cruiser signals an active misfire or condition that can cause engine damage if ignored. When you see a flashing light, it means the engine control module is detecting combustion problems severe enough to harm catalytic converters or internal components. At Herb Chambers Toyota of Boston, our technicians prioritize flashing codes as urgent. We perform a targeted diagnostic to identify spark, fuel, or sensor failures; typical root causes include ignition coil or spark plug failure, fuel injector issues, and severe sensor faults. Repairing these quickly avoids extended damage and higher future costs—our estimates clearly show immediate versus deferred repair scenarios so you can choose the best path. Take advantage of current service specials and flexible service financing to complete repairs now without delay. For safety and to protect long-term value, schedule service or contact our service advisors for immediate assistance and same-day attention when possible.

2021 Toyota Land Cruiser Check Engine Light Codes

Common codes for a 2021 Toyota Land Cruiser include P0300 (random/multiple misfires), P0135 (O2 sensor heater circuit), and P0420 (catalyst system efficiency). Ignoring P0300 can lead to poor fuel economy and catastrophic engine damage; resolving misfires quickly prevents burned pistons and costly repairs. A failing O2 sensor (P0135) reduces fuel efficiency and increases emissions; replacement with OEM parts restores engine management and saves fuel costs over time. P0420 often indicates catalytic converter degradation—repair costs rise significantly if left unaddressed. At Herb Chambers Toyota of Boston in Boston, MA we diagnose these codes with Toyota-specific tools, provide an honest estimate, and explain cost versus risk so you can see both immediate and lifetime savings. Our certified technicians, OEM parts, and documented repairs protect warranties and resale value. For accurate pricing, prompt service, and dealer-backed quality, schedule service and review our service specials to reduce out-of-pocket cost.
