The check engine light flashing on a 2021 Toyota Avalon Hybrid is an urgent warning that indicates the engine is experiencing misfires or severe emissions faults that can damage the catalytic converter if driven without inspection.

Resetting the check engine light on a 2021 Toyota Avalon Hybrid without diagnosing the underlying cause is a temporary fix that can hide progressive issues and risk warranty coverage. At Larry H. Miller Toyota Peoria, we recommend a professional diagnostic and reset process that confirms the fault is resolved before clearing codes. Our technicians use OEM procedures, genuine Toyota parts, and a documented repair history that maintains your vehicle’s service record and warranty integrity — remember that repairs covered under warranty must be performed at a certified dealership to remain valid.

2021 Toyota Avalon Hybrid Check Engine Light Codes

Common check engine light codes for a 2021 Toyota Avalon Hybrid include oxygen sensor (P0130–P0167), catalytic converter efficiency (P0420), misfire codes (P0300–P0304), and hybrid system or EV battery-related codes.
