2015 Toyota Prius Plug-in Check Engine Light Codes

Common check engine light codes for the 2015 Toyota Prius Plug-in range from simple P0455 (evaporative emission system leak) and oxygen sensor faults to hybrid-specific codes related to battery charging and inverter function. Ignoring a P0455 can lead to reduced fuel efficiency and failed emissions tests; delaying oxygen sensor replacement accelerates catalytic converter wear, which is significantly more expensive to replace. Hybrid-related faults, if unaddressed, can reduce electric driving range or lead to higher fuel use and potential drivetrain stress. At Larry H. Miller Toyota Peoria we translate each code into tangible costs and outcomes so you can weigh repair options confidently. Our certified technicians explain the cost of deferred repairs versus the savings of prompt OEM-service — often our accurate diagnostics and use of original Toyota parts deliver better value than independent shops by avoiding repeated or unnecessary work. We also provide hybrid battery tests and 12V health checks as part of diagnostics for plug-in models to prevent surprises.
