Check Engine Light Flashing
The distinction between a steady and a flashing check engine light is important: a flashing light on a 2014 Toyota Prius c usually indicates a severe misfire, catalytic converter stress, or another condition that can produce excess heat or emissions. Driving with a flashing light risks further damage to the catalytic converter and drivetrain components, and can quickly increase repair costs. At Larry H. Miller American Toyota Albuquerque our certified technicians prioritize flashing codes and run targeted tests ā from fuel trim and misfire analysis to emissions monitoring ā to isolate the failing component. We explain every step, provide an itemized estimate, and discuss immediate versus long-term repair priorities so you can make the best decision for safety and value. Take advantage of our comfortable service center, OEM parts availability, and the option to schedule appointment online now. We also offer service financing and routine service specials to reduce out-of-pocket cost while protecting your Prius c from escalating damage.

Miller American Toyota Albuquerque ensures technician certification, documented diagnostics, and parts backed by Toyota warranties ā and remember, warranty-covered repairs must be performed at a certified dealership.
