2010 Toyota Prius V Check Engine Light Reset
Resetting the check engine light on a 2010 Toyota Prius V can be done with an OBD-II reader, but resetting without addressing the underlying fault can mask problems and lead to recurring failures.

Our technicians provide transparent estimates, OEM replacement parts, and documented repairs that protect vehicle value and avoid repeat visits. Dealership service often costs less than independent shops over time because we resolve root causes with factory parts and proven procedures—delivering immediate savings through fewer repeat repairs and long-term savings via improved fuel economy and longevity.

2010 Toyota Prius V Check Engine Light Codes
Common codes for the 2010 Toyota Prius V include P0130–P0155 (oxygen sensor), P0420 (catalyst efficiency), P0A80 (hybrid battery pack), and misfire codes P0300–P0312. Each code has cost and reliability implications: untreated oxygen-sensor faults degrade fuel economy and raise emissions; a P0420 left alone can signal early catalyst failure and higher repair bills; hybrid battery codes may indicate cells needing balancing, repair, or eventual replacement—delays dramatically increase costs. Stevinson Toyota West in Colorado provides clear, itemized quotes and uses Toyota OEM parts to restore performance and efficiency. Our certified techs explain immediate repair benefits, projected long-term savings, and warranty options—repairs covered under warranty must be performed at a certified dealership. We also offer service financing and periodic service specials to lower upfront cost. For a detailed assessment, schedule service with our factory-trained team.
