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

  • If the light remains, bring your 2006 Toyota Tundra to Nalley Toyota of Roswell for a professional scan and inspection.
  • Repairs covered under warranty must be performed at a certified dealership to protect your coverage and long-term value.

2006 Toyota Tundra Check Engine Light Flashing

A flashing check engine light is an urgent warning that your 2006 Toyota Tundra may be experiencing an active misfire or a condition that could damage the catalytic converter. A steady light often indicates an emissions or sensor issue; a flashing light generally means the engine is running poorly and unburned fuel may be entering the exhaust. Driving with a flashing light can quickly escalate repair costs and create safety risks. Bring your vehicle to Nalley Toyota of Roswell immediately — our technicians will perform a priority diagnosis, recommend necessary repairs, and explain how timely certified service protects your warranty and reduces long-term expenses.

2006 Toyota Tundra Check Engine Light Reset

Resetting the check engine light on a 2006 Toyota Tundra can be done after the underlying fault is repaired, but simply clearing codes without fixing the cause invites recurring failures. At Nalley Toyota of Roswell we reset codes only after a full diagnostic and completed repairs using OEM parts and factory procedures. Choosing our dealership often costs less than independent shops over time because our fixes are durable, backed by warranty, and completed by factory-trained technicians. Remember: any warranty-covered repairs must be performed at a certified dealership to keep coverage intact. Schedule service or view Service Specials before you visit.

Ignoring these can lead to higher repair costs: oxygen sensor replacement typically runs a few hundred dollars, MAF sensor or ignition repairs vary from $150–$800, and catalytic converter replacement can exceed $1,000–$2,000 depending on parts and labor. Addressing codes early at Nalley Toyota of Roswell saves money by preventing secondary damage, and warranty-covered repairs must be completed at a certified dealership to ensure proper coverage and performance.
