Frequently Asked Questions

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

• Check the gas cap for a secure fit—an ill-fitting cap is a common cause of a service engine light.
• Confirm you used the correct fuel: the 2025 Toyota GR Corolla requires premium unleaded; wrong fuel can trigger codes.
• Look for obvious issues: odd smells, smoke, loss of power, or pronounced vibrations—these need immediate attention.
• If the light persists after tightening the cap, schedule a dealer diagnostic; many warranty-covered repairs must be completed at a certified dealership.

How long does a check engine light service take?

• Basic code read and initial inspection: typically 15–45 minutes.
• Full diagnostic evaluation: commonly 1–3 hours, depending on symptoms and road test needs.
• Simple repairs (sensor swaps, gas cap, small hose): often same-day service when parts are available.
• Complex repairs (turbo, catalytic converter, engine internals): may require ordering parts and can take multiple days.
• Choosing Coggin Toyota at the Avenues saves time and money: factory-trained techs and dealer parts reduce repeat visits and long-term costs.

• It indicates the vehicle’s onboard diagnostics detected a fault—anything from an evap leak to a misfire or emissions issue.
• Lights can mean performance loss, emissions out of range, or failing sensors; diagnostic codes pinpoint the area of concern.
