2016 Toyota 4Runner Check Engine Light Codes

Common codes for the 2016 Toyota 4Runner include oxygen sensor faults (P0130–P0167 range), evaporative emission system leaks (P0440–P0455), misfire codes (P0300–P0306), and catalytic converter efficiency issues (P0420). Left untreated, oxygen sensor and catalytic problems can reduce fuel economy, increase emissions, and cause catalytic damage that is expensive to replace. Evaporative system leaks often start with a loose or damaged gas cap and grow into larger sealing issues that lead to fuel odor and failed inspections. Misfires degrade engine performance and can damage pistons or catalytic components. At Larry H. Miller American Toyota Albuquerque we identify the exact code, present clear options, and explain the cost of inaction versus the immediate and long-term savings of prompt, correct repairs. Our certified technicians use OEM procedures to prevent repeat visits and to protect your vehicle’s resale value. We combine efficiency with customer-focused service: comfortable waiting areas, quick turnarounds, and genuine Toyota parts. To reduce repair costs, check our current service specials and schedule service online for fast diagnostics.

Check Engine Light Flashing

A flashing check engine light on a 2016 Toyota 4Runner is a serious warning that indicates active misfire or a condition that can rapidly damage the catalytic converter.
