Toyota Tacoma, Mitsubishi top 'check engine' light vehicle health report

https://www.foxnews.com/auto/toyota-...e-light-report

That’s one of the takeaways from CarMD’s Vehicle Health Index, which found the 2018 Tacoma was the least likely vehicle to experience a "check engine" light issue.

The 2018 Tacoma finished ahead of the 2015 Honda CR-V and 2018 Toyota Camry in a study that looked at over 19 million 1996-2020 model year vehicles to calculate the percentage of each that flashed a check engine light, which covers a host of problems affecting the engine and emissions systems that includes such things as the catalytic converter, oxygen sensor and even a loose gas cap.

The 2017 Tacoma and 2016 Tacoma ranked fifth and 10th, making the model the only truck in the top 10.

2018 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport
2014 Honda CR-V
2017 Ford Explorer
2018 Nissan Rogue

As for how much each light will cost you, it depends on what you drive. Kias were the cheapest at an average of $322.43 per occurrence, followed by Chrysler ($332.83) and Mazda ($339.35).

That's good to know because my Silverado goes in for this very thing this morning.

:spdchk:

I also discovered when it's throwing a check engine light code the remote start doesn't function.

:spdchk:

My last two Toyota Tundras have been quite good in that department, and I'm hard on my DD. I plow snow with it and that is hard on a vechicle.

After owning about 20 loaded Chevy4X4 pick ups I went to Toyota. I did not leave GM it left me!

My '07 Tundra is about to hit 278k miles and it's still in really good shape and extremely reliable. :yesnod:

Good to know that the California regulator-inspired Toyota and Mitsubishi emissions system engineers reign supreme on their product teams instead of the core truck engineers. And, statistically their Mitsubishi/Toyota) trucks aren’t the models really entrusted by most (non-California) tradesmen whose last livelihoods rely on trucks that can profitable get the job done. Who even knew Mitsubishi made a truck? Seriously, it is a brand barely on life support. Bet they have a fraction of a percent market share with “real” truck owners. But, good for their nipondenso O2 sensors vs. the Bosch oxygen sensors that most OEMs use and get a helluva lot of high performance mileage/production out of vs. more feminine-designed Jap “trucks”.
Glad the O2 sensor is outstanding on Toyota/Mitsubishi trucks. SOMETHING has to stand out compared to “real” trucks.

yep; same with my 2012 Avalanche. CE light means no remote start.

How well does it plow snow? :bigears:

My driveway is 100% clear on the first pass...every time! :leaving:
