A mechanic says a 2025 Toyota Tundra with a flashing Check Engine light is the perfect example of why technicians shouldn’t skip the basics.
User @mdttoyotech, who says he’s an L1 ASE-certified master diagnostic automotive technician, shared how a simple visual inspection helped him quickly figure out what was wrong.
“This is why it’s important to always do visual inspections before you waste your time,” he says.
@mdttoyotech says he was diagnosing a 2025 Toyota Tundra that had just about 7,000 miles on it when it came in with a flashing check engine light. After pulling the truck into his shop’s bay, he shared a reminder for other technicians.
“When you’re a flat-rate technician, you want to save as much time as possible,” @mdttoyotech explains.
