2019 Toyota 4Runner Check Engine Light Codes

Common codes for a 2019 Toyota 4Runner include P0420 (catalyst efficiency low), P0300 (random/multiple misfires), P0171/P0174 (fuel trim lean), and oxygen sensor codes like P0135.

Our process includes a clear estimate, use of genuine Toyota parts, and explanation of immediate vs. long-term savings for each repair option.
