2021 Toyota Avalon Hybrid Check Engine Light Codes

The most frequent codes for a 2021 Toyota Avalon Hybrid in Boston point to oxygen sensors (P0130–P0167), catalytic efficiency issues (P0420), EV/hybrid battery or inverter alerts, and occasional misfires (P0300–P0312). Left unaddressed, oxygen-sensor faults can reduce fuel economy and damage the catalytic converter, leading to repair bills that escalate from a modest sensor replacement to thousands for catalyst replacement.
