Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a check engine light service take?

• Basic diagnostic scan: typically 30–60 minutes to read codes and identify issues.
• Minor fixes (sensor replacement, loose gas cap): often completed the same day.
• Complex repairs (catalytic converter, turbo/system repairs): timeline varies from one day to multiple days depending on parts availability.
• At Bill Estes Toyota, diagnostics are performed by factory‑trained technicians for accuracy, and we often provide faster turnaround and lower overall cost than independent shops due to parts sourcing and warranty coverage.
• Remember: warranty repairs must be completed at a certified dealership to preserve coverage and long‑term savings.

What does it mean when the check engine light comes on in a 2022 Toyota GR Supra 2.0?

• The light signals the vehicle’s onboard computer has detected a fault — anything from an emissions sensor to ignition or turbocharger issues.
• Common causes include oxygen sensor, catalytic converter, misfire, or turbo underboost on a turbocharged engine like the 2.0L.
• Some faults are minor and safe to drive short distances; flashing lights indicate imminent damage and need immediate service.
• Diagnostics at our dealership use OEM tools to pinpoint the root cause so you avoid unnecessary repairs and higher long‑term costs.
• Warranty‑covered repairs must be done at a certified dealership to ensure cost savings and maintain protection.

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

• Check for obvious issues: a loose or missing gas cap is a common trigger and can be fixed immediately.
• Look for changes in performance: stalling, rough idle, or loss of power suggest more urgent attention.
• If the light is steady, schedule a diagnostic scan; if it is flashing, stop driving and bring the vehicle to our service center right away.
• Our technicians will perform an OEM diagnostic to avoid guesswork and reduce overall repair expense over time.
• Repairs under warranty should be completed at Bill Estes Toyota to ensure coverage and long‑term savings.
