2015 Toyota Highlander Check Engine Light Reset

The check engine light reset may seem simple — clearing the code with a scanner — but a reset without repair often hides an unresolved fault that will return and can cause collateral damage. For a 2015 Toyota Highlander, authorized resets are performed after a manufacturer-grade diagnostic and confirmed repair to ensure the underlying issue is fixed. At Stevinson Toyota West in CO our process: full electronic scan, technician diagnosis, recommended OEM repairs, and a verified reset only after repairs are complete. This protects your warranty, preserves fuel economy, and prevents repeated trips to the shop. We provide clear estimates, explain immediate and long-term cost benefits, and offer service financing so you can address problems now and pay over time. Choose our dealership for transparent pricing, factory-trained technicians, and quality parts that extend the life of your Highlander. Before your visit, review current service specials, then schedule service online to reserve a bay. Our team handles warranty paperwork and ensures the reset is permanent — not just a temporary fix.

2015 Toyota Highlander Check Engine Light Codes

Common check engine codes on a 2015 Toyota Highlander include P0420 (catalyst efficiency), P0171/P0174 (lean condition), P0300–P0306 (misfires), and P0442 (evaporative system leak). Left unaddressed, a P0420 can lead to catalytic converter failure — a costly repair that also reduces emissions compliance; early diagnosis at Stevinson Toyota West can avoid that expense. Lean condition codes often signal intake leaks or sensor failures that lower fuel economy; correcting them saves you fuel costs immediately. Misfires can damage the catalytic converter and harm drivability; timely repair preserves engine life and resale value. Evap system leaks are often inexpensive to fix when caught early but can affect emissions testing and efficiency if delayed. Our dealership in CO offers manufacturer-level diagnostics, OEM components, and transparent estimates so you can see both immediate savings and long-term value. We frequently apply service specials to reduce upfront cost and provide financing options. For a quick, professional evaluation, schedule appointment online — our certified technicians will prioritize your Highlander and outline a clear repair plan.
