2016 Chevrolet Tahoe Check Engine Light Codes
The most common check engine codes we encounter on the 2016 Chevrolet Tahoe at Stevinson Chevrolet in CO include P0420 (catalyst efficiency), P0171/P0174 (fuel trim/air-fuel mixture), P0300-P0308 (misfires), P0135/P0136 (oxygen sensor) and P0440 (evaporative emissions). Ignoring these codes can escalate costs: a faulty oxygen sensor left unchecked can foul the catalytic converter and drive a repair from a $200 sensor replacement to a $1,000+ converter job; fuel trim or misfire conditions reduce MPG and can cause engine damage if not repaired promptly. Our certified technicians pinpoint the exact cause, provide an itemized estimate, and explain both immediate repair costs and long-term savings—preventing repeat visits and preserving resale value. We use OEM parts, factory procedures, and keep service transparent; you benefit from quicker repairs, proper parts, warranty protection, and documented service records.
