• We provide a written estimate before work begins and explain options to control cost without sacrificing safety or reliability.

What does it mean when the check engine light comes on in a 2024 Toyota GR Supra?

• It signals the vehicle’s onboard diagnostics detected a fault — from emissions to engine control systems — that needs evaluation.
• Common triggers include oxygen sensor faults, catalytic converter issues, loose fuel caps, or misfires caused by ignition or fuel problems.
• Not all codes mean immediate danger, but some indicate conditions that reduce performance, fuel economy, or emissions compliance.
• Our factory-trained technicians use OEM diagnostics to identify the code, explain consequences, and recommend the most cost-effective repair.
• If a repair is warranty-covered, it must be completed at a certified dealership to ensure coverage remains valid and documented.

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

• Start with the simple: ensure the fuel cap is fully tightened — a loose cap is a common, low-cost trigger.
• Check for obvious performance changes like rough idle, stalling, or reduced power; note these symptoms for the technician.
• Bring the vehicle to our service center for a diagnostic scan; we’ll read codes and perform a visual inspection to prioritize fixes.
• Using OEM diagnostic tools prevents misdiagnosis and protects long-term value — especially important for warranty and resale.
• If a code indicates a warranty-covered repair, it must be performed at a certified dealership to preserve coverage and benefits.

How long does a check engine light service take?

• Most diagnostic scans and initial inspections are completed within 30–60 minutes, depending on shop volume and vehicle symptoms.
• If repairs are required, repair time varies: simple fixes may be same-day, while parts orders or complex repairs take longer.
• We prioritize clear timelines, and our team communicates estimated completion and any parts lead-time so you can plan.
• Factory-trained technicians and direct access to OEM parts often reduce turnaround compared with independent shops, delivering faster, reliable results.
• Warranty repairs must be done at a certified dealership; handling them here ensures proper documentation and quicker authorization when applicable.

What is the most common reason for check engine light on a 2024 Toyota GR Supra?

• Common causes include oxygen sensor failures, catalytic converter efficiency issues, or ignition system misfires that trigger codes.
• Emissions-related sensors and components often surface first because modern vehicles monitor them continuously.
• Early diagnosis prevents catalytic damage or engine wear that could lead to higher long-term costs.
• Our dealership’s diagnostics identify root causes quickly using OEM procedures, minimizing unnecessary parts replacement.
• If a repair falls under warranty, it must be completed at a certified dealership to maintain coverage and avoid future disputes.
