What does it mean when the check engine light comes on in a 2007 Toyota 4Runner?

• The light is a general indicator that an emissions, engine, or drivetrain sensor is reporting an issue—codes point to the subsystem affected.
• It can range from minor (loose gas cap, sensor drift) to serious (misfire, catalytic damage) and should be diagnosed promptly to avoid escalation.
• At Nalley Toyota of Roswell, we use OEM-grade scanners to identify exact codes, which reduces time and cost compared with guesswork.
• For warranty-covered conditions, repairs must be done at a certified dealership to preserve benefits and ensure correct long-term fixes.

• Common causes include oxygen sensor failure, evaporative emissions leaks (often the gas cap), and occasional misfires from ignition or fuel system issues.
• Oxygen sensors and EVAP leaks often produce codes that are straightforward to diagnose and repair when handled by trained technicians.
• Addressing these promptly at our dealership reduces the chance of secondary damage and saves money over time compared with repeated quick fixes.
• If a repair is covered by warranty, it must be performed at a certified dealership to ensure proper parts and labor and to maintain coverage.

How long does a check engine light service take?

• If further diagnosis or component testing is required, service time can extend to a few hours; complex repairs may take a day or more depending on parts availability.
• We prioritize efficient scheduling and accurate diagnostics—our factory-trained technicians and OEM tools often mean faster, more reliable repairs and long-term savings.
• Remember: any warranty repairs must be performed at a certified dealership to preserve coverage and ensure proper long-term results.
