2013 Toyota Tundra Check Engine Light Codes

At Larry H. Miller American Toyota Albuquerque we see recurring codes on the 2013 Toyota Tundra that point to specific systems: P0420 (catalyst efficiency), P0300–P0308 (misfires), P0135/P0141 (oxygen/heater circuits), and P0456 (evaporative system leak). Left unresolved, a P0420 can lead to reduced emissions compliance and possible catalytic converter failure, increasing repair costs substantially; timely diagnosis often prevents catalytic converter replacement and preserves fuel economy. Misfires (P030x) can accelerate engine wear and damage sensors; addressing ignition or fuel system faults promptly keeps horsepower and torque consistent — critical for a truck with a 5.7L V8 and 9,200 lb towing capacity. Evaporative leaks (P0456) are inexpensive to fix when found early but can trigger inspections and fines in states with emissions testing. Our certified technicians use Toyota OEM parts and factory diagnostics to identify true root causes, ensuring repairs are accurate and long-lasting. Choosing our dealership often yields immediate savings through precise fixes and long-term savings via warranty-backed parts and maintenance that protect resale value. To get clarity fast, schedule service online and check current service specials before your visit.
