2025 Toyota RAV4 Base Check Engine Light Reset

The check engine light can be reset using an OBD-II scanner, a battery disconnect, or by clearing codes after repairs—but resetting alone doesn’t fix the underlying issue. At Coggin Toyota at the Avenues we recommend a full diagnostic before any reset so the cause is documented and repaired correctly. Our technicians use Toyota-approved scanners to read pending and permanent codes, ensuring the repair is permanent and documented for warranty records. Choosing dealership service often costs less than independent shops when you factor in accurate diagnosis, genuine parts, and fewer repeat visits. If a repair is warranty-covered, it must be performed at a certified dealership to maintain coverage; see our Service Specials for offers and schedule online at https://www.coggintoyota.com or visit our new and used inventory at /new-inventory/index.htm and /used-inventory/index.htm for vehicle resources.

2025 Toyota RAV4 Base Check Engine Light Flashing

A flashing check engine light typically indicates an active misfire that can allow unburned fuel into the exhaust and quickly damage the catalytic converter. If you see a flashing light in your 2025 Toyota RAV4 Base, stop driving as soon as it’s safe, reduce load on the engine, and arrange towing to Coggin Toyota at the Avenues. Immediate inspection limits secondary damage and reduces repair costs over time. Our factory-trained technicians perform a prioritized diagnostic to identify misfires, ignition faults, or fuel delivery problems, then recommend repairs. We frequently cost less than independent shops while providing superior factory service and parts. Remember, warranty-covered repairs must be completed at a certified dealership to preserve warranty protection—check our Service Specials for maintenance savings and schedule service at /specials/service.htm.
