Frequently Asked Questions

What is the most common reason for check engine light on a 2027 Toyota Sequoia?

• Faulty oxygen sensors and catalytic converter issues are frequent causes and can affect fuel economy and emissions.
• Ignition misfires from worn spark plugs or coils may trigger the light and lead to more severe engine or exhaust damage if ignored.
• Evaporative emissions leaks—often a loose or damaged gas cap—are common and typically low-cost to repair when addressed early.
• Because the Sequoia is a hybrid-market SUV with advanced systems, sensor faults related to hybrid or emissions controls may also appear.
• Early diagnosis at Nalley Toyota of Roswell helps avoid costly downstream repairs and protects warranty coverage, which requires certified-dealer service for covered work.

What does it mean when the check engine light comes on in a 2027 Toyota Sequoia?

• It indicates the vehicle’s onboard diagnostics detected a fault in emissions, engine, or powertrain systems that needs attention.
• Codes range from minor issues like an EVAP leak to serious conditions such as misfires that can harm the catalytic converter.
• For hybrid-market Sequoias, it may also relate to hybrid-system sensors or control modules requiring Toyota-specific tools to diagnose properly.
• Ignoring the light can increase repair costs and risk long-term damage; certified diagnostics ensure accurate repairs and preserve warranty eligibility.

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

• Start with a visual check: ensure the gas cap is tight and undamaged—this simple step fixes many EVAP-related codes.
• Look for obvious issues like low oil, coolant leaks, or loose wiring under the hood before driving long distances.
• If the light is steady, schedule a diagnostic scan; if it’s flashing, stop driving and have the vehicle inspected immediately to avoid further damage.
• Bring the Sequoia to Nalley Toyota of Roswell so factory-trained technicians can run Toyota-approved diagnostics and protect warranty coverage.
