Typical trouble codes include P0420 (catalyst system efficiency), P0135 (oxygen sensor heater circuit), P0300 (random/multiple cylinder misfire), and P0442 (evaporative emission system leak). Left unchecked, P0420 can lead to increased emissions and eventual catalytic converter failure — a costly repair. P0135 or oxygen sensor faults reduce fuel economy and can increase long-term engine wear.
