2017 Toyota Highlander Hybrid Check Engine Light Codes

Common check engine light codes for the 2017 Toyota Highlander Hybrid include oxygen sensor codes (P0130–P0167), catalytic converter efficiency faults (P0420), misfire codes (P0300–P0306), and hybrid-system related codes. Each code has cost implications if ignored: a faulty O2 sensor can lower MPG and lead to richer fuel burn, increasing fuel cost over time and risking catalytic damage; unresolved misfires can damage pistons or the catalytic converter, leading to much higher repair bills; catalytic issues left unchecked may require converter replacement, which is substantially more expensive than early repairs. At Larry H. Miller Toyota Murray, our diagnostics and preventative approach minimize these risks. We explain costs and timelines up front, use genuine Toyota parts, and apply factory repair procedures that preserve performance and warranty coverage. Addressing codes early with our certified team often costs less in the long run—fewer repeat visits, better fuel economy, and higher vehicle longevity.
