2023 Toyota GR Corolla Check Engine Light Codes

The most frequent codes we see for a 2023 Toyota GR Corolla in Boston are P0171 (system too lean), P0300–P0303 (random/multi and cylinder misfires), P0420 (catalyst system efficiency below threshold), and P0455 (evap system large leak). Each of these codes carries escalating risks if left unaddressed: P0171 or P0300 can mean reduced fuel economy and repeated misfires that damage pistons and catalytic converters; P0420 left unattended often leads to costly converter replacement; P0455 can cause failed emissions tests and ongoing fuel vapor loss. At Herb Chambers Toyota of Boston, our diagnostic process identifies the code and underlying cause, then presents clear, itemized repair options.
