2024 Toyota RAV4 Check Engine Light Codes

At Stevinson Toyota East in CO, our technicians regularly decode the most frequent fault codes for the 2024 Toyota RAV4. Common codes include P0171/P0174 (fuel trim lean conditions), P0420 (catalyst efficiency), and P0135/P0136 (oxygen sensor faults). Ignoring these codes risks reduced fuel economy (the RAV4 averages 27 city / 35 highway MPG), potential catalytic converter damage, and higher long-term repair costs. For example, an unresolved fuel-trim lean condition can lead to oxygen sensor failure and eventually catalytic converter replacement — a much higher expense than timely sensor repair. Our service team provides transparent estimates and explains cost-saving OEM solutions. Choosing Stevinson Toyota East often results in lower total cost of ownership compared with repetitive fixes at non-certified shops because we correct the root issue once using genuine Toyota parts.

2024 Toyota RAV4 Check Engine Light Reset
