Check Engine Light Flashing

The check engine light flashing on a 2019 Toyota Tundra usually indicates an active misfire or a condition that could damage the catalytic converter if driven. A flashing light means stop driving as soon as it’s safe and have the vehicle inspected immediately. At Stevinson Toyota West in Colorado we treat flashing codes as high priority: our certified technicians first secure the vehicle, perform an expedited scan with OEM-level tools, and advise whether on-the-spot repairs are possible or if towing is safer. Addressing a flashing light promptly prevents catastrophic component damage, reduces long-term repair costs, and preserves fuel economy and emissions compliance. We back our repairs with genuine Toyota parts and warranty protection — remember that warranty-covered work must be done at a certified dealership to remain valid. We also provide service financing and transparent, itemized estimates so you can act quickly without surprise costs.

Common diagnostic trouble codes for the 2019 Toyota Tundra include misfire codes (P0300–P0308), oxygen sensor codes (P0130–P0167 range), and catalytic converter efficiency codes (P0420).
