2016 Chevrolet Malibu Limited Check Engine Light Codes

Common diagnostic codes for the 2016 Chevrolet Malibu Limited seen at Larry H. Miller Chevrolet Murray include P0420 (catalyst efficiency), P0171/P0174 (fuel trim), P0135 (oxygen sensor heater), and P0101 (mass airflow). Ignoring these codes can escalate costs: a simple O2 sensor replacement is modest compared to catalytic converter failure, which can cost many times more and may lead to reduced fuel economy and failed emissions tests. Fuel-trim issues left unchecked can cause poor drivability and increased fuel spend; a failing mass airflow sensor can lead to stalling and unpredictable engine behavior. Our Murray, UT service team uses GM-approved equipment to read codes, test related components, and verify battery health to prevent misleading results. By addressing issues early with OEM parts and factory-trained techs, you save now and protect resale value long term. To get started, schedule service and ask about current service specials.
