This happened to us with 2023 sienna after a dealers oil change !!! It turns out that they didn't close air intake filter cabin correctly. We were drive up to Canada at the time. We had to stop time to time to stop the warning. Check the air filter cabin and make sure it secure.

Toyota Sienna
And somehow its 50 to 70 bucks or whatever to change the cabin filter but they already took it out to show me and they put it back.... which is why I change oil myself....
Cons: upselling, long wait times
I had them do a standard service on my Tacoma once. Oil, filters, etc. Next time around I had them give me a quote for a 150k mile service...and it was almost insulting. Got everything to do it myself for a fraction of the parts cost and when I went to replace my cabin air filter it was very clearly about 5 years old.
Pros: fraction of parts cost
Cons: cabin air filter old
Vehicle:
Toyota
Mileage: 150000 km
