2011 Toyota Land Cruiser Check Engine Light Reset

Resetting the check engine light on a 2011 Toyota Land Cruiser can sometimes clear a non-critical code, but doing so without addressing the root cause can mask issues and lead to more expensive repairs later. At Stevinson Toyota West, we recommend a complete diagnostic before any reset so you understand why the light illuminated in the first place. Our factory-trained technicians use OEM diagnostic procedures to ensure accurate fault identification, then explain repair options, warranty coverage, and available discounts. Dealer service often delivers better value than independent shops because of genuine parts, certified expertise, and longer-term savings through accurate repairs.

2011 Toyota Land Cruiser Check Engine Light Codes

Common check engine codes for a 2011 Toyota Land Cruiser include oxygen sensor (P0130–P0167), catalytic converter efficiency (P0420), and misfire codes (P0300–P0308).
