2020 Toyota Camry Check Engine Light Codes

Common check engine light codes for a 2020 Toyota Camry include P0420 (Catalyst System Efficiency), P0171/P0174 (Fuel Trim/Lean Condition), P0300 (Random/Multiple Cylinder Misfire), and oxygen sensor or EVAP system codes. Left unaddressed, these issues can reduce fuel economy, increase emissions, and lead to costly repairs such as catalytic converter replacement. At Larry H.

We emphasize convenience—online scheduling, comfortable waiting areas, and quick turnarounds—and offer warranty-backed work plus service financing to spread payments.
