2013 Toyota Camry Check Engine Light Codes

At Larry H. Miller Toyota Peoria in Peoria, AZ, we commonly diagnose codes on the 2013 Toyota Camry related to oxygen sensors (P0130–P0167), evaporative system leaks (P0440–P0456), ignition misfires (P0300–P0306), and catalytic converter efficiency (P0420). Left unaddressed, oxygen sensor faults can reduce fuel economy and lead to costly catalytic converter replacement; a timely sensor repair saves fuel and prevents a far larger bill. Evaporative system leaks often stem from a loose or damaged gas cap — an inexpensive fix that avoids emissions failures and MPG loss. Misfire codes can indicate worn spark plugs, ignition coils, or fuel delivery faults; ignoring misfires risks engine damage and higher repairs. A P0420 can signal converter failure, which is one of the more expensive outcomes when early sensor or exhaust issues are missed. Our factory-trained technicians use OEM diagnostics and parts to identify the correct repair path, reducing repeat visits and protecting your Camry’s longevity. We emphasize transparent pricing, available service specials, and service financing so customers in Peoria get dependable results without surprise costs. Book a time to inspect stored codes and get a clear estimate when you schedule service with our team.
