2017 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid Check Engine Light Codes

The 2017 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid in Albuquerque often shows common OBD-II codes tied to emissions sensors, hybrid system monitors, and occasional EV battery charge warnings. Typical codes include oxygen sensor (P0130–P0167 range), EV system warnings related to hybrid battery or inverter, and catalytic efficiency codes such as P0420. Ignoring these codes can raise fuel costs, reduce battery life, and lead to higher repair bills—an oxygen sensor left unattended will stress the catalytic converter, which can cost significantly more to replace. At Larry H. Miller American Toyota Albuquerque our factory-trained technicians use Toyota-specific scanners and OEM components to diagnose issues precisely. We provide transparent estimates showing immediate and long-term savings: fixing a worn sensor now protects the catalytic converter and hybrid system, avoiding larger parts and labor expenses later.
