2020 Toyota 4Runner Check Engine Light Codes

The most common OBD‑II codes for a 2020 Toyota 4Runner include P0420 (catalytic efficiency), P0171/P0174 (fuel trim lean), P0300–P0306 (cylinder misfires), and P0135 (O2 sensor heater circuit). Ignoring these codes risks progressively worse outcomes: a P0420 left unaddressed can lead to failed emissions tests and a damaged catalytic converter that may cost thousands to replace; persistent misfires (P03xx) can ruin pistons, catalytic components, and drastically reduce fuel economy; lean‑condition codes (P017x) often point to vacuum leaks or fuel delivery problems that, if neglected, accelerate engine wear and reduce range per tank. At Herb Chambers Toyota of Boston we provide clear estimates for repair costs and timelines, using OEM parts and Toyota‑certified technicians to ensure correct repairs the first time. That accuracy delivers immediate savings—by avoiding unnecessary parts and labor—and long‑term value through better fuel economy, preserved engine life, and maintained resale value.
