We explain required repairs in plain language, show parts and labor estimates, and recommend OEM replacements that preserve performance and resale value. For urgent cases we can often prioritize your vehicle for same-day diagnosis; to protect your Prius v and prevent expensive downstream repairs, schedule appointment right away.

2016 Toyota Prius v Check Engine Light Codes

Common diagnostic trouble codes for a 2016 Toyota Prius v include P0420 (catalyst system efficiency), P0130–P0167 (oxygen sensor circuits), and P0300–P0304 (misfires). Ignoring these codes can lead to reduced fuel economy, higher emissions, and eventual failure of expensive components such as the catalytic converter or hybrid system modules. At Coggin Toyota at the Avenues in FL we interpret codes in context — using live data, freeze-frame captures, and OEM troubleshooting flowcharts to avoid unnecessary part replacement. That accuracy reduces repair costs now and prevents repeat visits, delivering immediate and long-term savings. We use genuine Toyota parts and manufacturer-approved repair procedures so covered repairs remain valid under warranty; remember warranty repairs must be completed at a certified dealership. To keep your Prius v reliable, schedule service or review our service specials before your visit.
