Check Engine Light Flashing

The check engine light flashing on a 2022 Toyota RAV4 Prime typically signals an active misfire or a condition that could cause immediate engine damage. A flashing light is more urgent than a steady lamp and means you should stop driving and have the vehicle inspected as soon as possible.

2022 Toyota RAV4 Prime Check Engine Light Reset

Resetting the check engine light on a 2022 Toyota RAV4 Prime can be a temporary measure but should never replace proper diagnosis.

Using OEM parts and manufacturer procedures preserves warranties and maintains performance. We provide transparent estimates that emphasize immediate savings from correct repairs and long-term value through avoided repeat failures. Certified technicians, genuine Toyota parts, and available service specials make our service both reliable and cost-effective.
