Resetting the check engine light can be done with an OBD-II scanner, but clearing codes without addressing the root cause often leads to repeated failures and hidden damage. At Nalley Toyota of Roswell we recommend a full diagnostic and repair before any reset so systems can relearn correct parameters and confirm the fault is resolved. Our factory-trained technicians use OEM procedures and calibrated tools to clear and verify codes, ensuring the light stays off for the right reasons.

Ignoring these codes can lead to increased emissions, reduced fuel economy, damage to the catalytic converter, and in some cases engine or hybrid system harm. Catalytic converter replacement is often the most expensive consequence, while failed O2 sensors or EVAP repairs are generally far less costly if addressed early. Our dealership provides a thorough code analysis and cost estimate; timely dealer-performed repairs not only protect warranty coverage but also deliver immediate and long-term savings compared with repeated, partial fixes.
