What is the first thing to check when the check engine light comes on?

• Start with simple checks: ensure the fuel cap is tight and inspect for obvious leaks or loose wiring under the hood.
• Confirm you used the recommended premium fuel; using lower octane can trigger knock or misfire warnings on this vehicle.
• If basic checks don’t clear the light, schedule a diagnostic so technicians can read trouble codes and recommend the correct repair.
• Remember: warranty-covered repairs must be completed at a certified dealership to keep coverage intact and to ensure proper parts and service.

What is the most common reason for check engine light on a 2020 Toyota 86?

• The most frequent issues are related to emissions sensors (oxygen sensors) and intermittent misfires, often indicated by codes like P0300–P0304 or P0420.
• These problems can reduce fuel economy and harm catalytic converter life if left unrepaired.
• Our Toyota-trained technicians use OEM parts and diagnostics to address root causes quickly and cost-effectively, often saving you more than an independent shop in the long run.
• Warranty-covered fixes must be performed at a certified dealership to preserve protections and ensure correct repairs.

How long does a check engine light service take?

• Simple diagnostics—scan and initial inspection—can take 30 to 60 minutes; more complex repairs vary depending on parts and labor.
• Minor fixes like replacing a gas cap or an O2 sensor may be completed the same day; engine or catalytic repairs can require more time.
• We provide transparent time estimates when you arrive, and factory-trained technicians work efficiently to reduce downtime and long-term costs.
