2026 Toyota GR86 Check Engine Light Flashing

A flashing check engine light on a 2026 Toyota GR86 usually signals an active misfire or condition that risks damaging the catalytic converter. Immediate action is critical: stop driving if you experience severe vibration, loss of power, or stalling. Driving with a flashing light can turn a repairable ignition or fuel system issue into a costly exhaust or engine repair. Our dealership’s factory-trained technicians use OEM diagnostic tools to identify misfires, ignition coil or fuel injector faults, and to prevent catalytic converter failure. Bringing the vehicle promptly to Bill Estes Toyota minimizes repair complexity, protects warranty coverage, and helps avoid long-term expenses.
