2021 Toyota Sienna Check Engine Light Codes

At Herb Chambers Toyota of Boston we see a handful of recurring codes on the 2021 Toyota Sienna that owners should never ignore. Common codes include oxygen sensor faults (P0130 series), evaporative emission system leaks (P0440 series), and misfire codes (P0300 series). An unresolved oxygen sensor fault can reduce fuel economy and increase emissions, costing you more at the pump and potentially leading to catalytic converter damage that can cost thousands to replace. Evaporative system leaks often start as simple fixes like a loose or cracked gas cap; left alone they can trigger repeated repairs and failed emissions tests. Misfires, when ignored, may damage pistons or catalytic components—repair costs escalate quickly. Herb Chambers Toyota of Boston uses Toyota-specific scanners to pinpoint the exact cause, then presents repair options with OEM parts and transparent pricing. Choosing our certified technicians not only speeds repairs but also protects warranty coverage and delivers long-term savings through correct repairs, fewer comebacks, and improved resale value.
