2020 Chevrolet Sonic Check Engine Light Codes

The most common check engine light codes for a 2020 Chevrolet Sonic include P0420 (catalyst system efficiency), P0171/P0174 (fuel trim too lean), P0300-P0304 (misfires), and oxygen sensor faults such as P0130–P0167. In Albuquerque, Larry H. Miller Casa Chevrolet diagnoses these codes using GM factory scanners to identify whether the issue is a sensor, exhaust, ignition, or fuel-delivery related. Ignoring a P0420 can lead to reduced fuel economy and, ultimately, a costly catalytic converter replacement; early detection and repair save hundreds of dollars over time. Lean codes left untreated can increase engine wear and reduce performance, while unresolved misfires risk damage to catalytic components and piston rings. Our certified technicians explain each code, the realistic cost of repair, and how prompt service at our dealership often costs less than independent shops when accounting for correct parts, warranty coverage, and the long-term savings of avoiding repeat repairs.
