2016 Toyota Camry Check Engine Light Codes

Left untreated these can escalate from a modest sensor replacement to costly repairs — a bad O2 sensor reduces fuel economy and increases emissions; an unchecked misfire can destroy a catalytic converter (often a thousand dollars or more); and EVAP leaks may fail inspections and worsen fuel economy.
