2026 Toyota Sequoia Check Engine Light Codes

At Stevinson Toyota West in CO we see a handful of common trouble codes for the 2026 Toyota Sequoia: P0420 (catalyst efficiency), P0171/P0174 (lean condition), P0300-series (misfires), P0130–P0160 (O2 sensor faults), and charging or battery-related codes that can mimic sensor failures. Left unaddressed, these can lead to reduced fuel economy, higher emissions, failed inspections, catalytic converter damage (costly to replace), and even engine damage. For example, ignoring a lean condition can cause overheating and costly repairs; failing to replace a bad oxygen sensor can reduce MPG and stress downstream components. Our technicians provide a clear estimate and explain the cost-to-benefit of prompt repairs; addressing faults early often costs far less and preserves resale value. We test batteries, charging systems, and alternators in-house and replace with OEM parts when needed — you’ll find our combination of speed, certified expertise, and transparent pricing delivers measurable immediate and long-term savings.
