This transparent process preserves manufacturer warranties and maintains vehicle longevity.

2021 Toyota Land Cruiser Check Engine Light Codes

Common check engine light codes for the 2021 Toyota Land Cruiser include misfire codes (P0300–P0308), oxygen sensor codes (P0130–P0167), and EVAP system issues (P0440–P0455). Each has cost implications: untreated misfires can ruin catalytic converters (costly to replace), faulty oxygen sensors reduce fuel economy and increase emissions, and EVAP leaks can cause failed emissions tests. At Larry H. Miller Toyota Peoria we address codes with OEM diagnostics and genuine Toyota parts, minimizing downtime and preventing expensive cascading failures. Servicing early often costs less than waiting—the immediate expense of a sensor or ignition repair is typically far lower than the long-term expense of engine or emissions-system replacement. We provide clear estimates, warranty guidance, and service financing to ease decision-making.
