Check Engine Light Flashing

The check engine light flashing on a 2024 Toyota Tundra is a sign of a serious misfire or condition that could cause engine damage if you keep driving. A flashing light usually indicates that unburned fuel is entering the exhaust stream, which can overheat or damage the catalytic converter and reduce towing reliability—critical for many Tundra owners. At Herb Chambers Toyota of Boston we urge drivers in Boston, MA to stop driving when you see a flashing light and contact our service team immediately. Our certified technicians will perform an expedited diagnosis using OEM-level equipment to protect your engine and emissions system. We combine speed with accuracy: while some shops offer quick resets, our approach finds the root cause so you avoid repeat visits and higher downstream costs. Check our service specials for current offers, and when ready schedule service online to get prompt attention from our factory-trained team.

2024 Toyota Tundra Check Engine Light Reset

Resetting the check engine light on a 2024 Toyota Tundra without resolving the underlying problem is a temporary fix that can mask issues and lead to larger repairs. At Herb Chambers Toyota of Boston we follow transparent, OEM-approved procedures: we scan, diagnose, repair with Toyota parts when needed, and then clear codes once the condition is resolved. Resetting alone may clear a warning momentarily but won’t prevent a recurring failure or protect warranty coverage. Our dealership provides written estimates, clear explanations, and service financing so you can complete necessary repairs immediately and pay over time. Choosing our dealership over an independent shop delivers added value—factory-trained technicians, correct software updates, and parts matched to Toyota specifications—so your Tundra returns to reliable operation and holds its resale value.
