2014 Ford Transit Connect Check Engine Light Codes

Common check engine light codes for the 2014 Ford Transit Connect include P0300 (random/multiple misfires), P0171 (system too lean), P0420 (catalyst system efficiency below threshold), and P0455 (large evap leak). Each code points to different causes and cost implications: repeated misfires (P0300) can damage the catalytic converter and lead to thousands in repair costs; a persistent P0420 usually signals catalyst replacement if left unaddressed; lean conditions (P0171) can increase wear and lower fuel efficiency; and evap leaks (P0455) often start small but can lead to failed emissions tests and performance issues. At Larry H. Miller Ford Mesa our certified technicians in Mesa, AZ identify the precise code and underlying causes, present OEM repair options, and explain immediate and long-term savings of fixing issues promptly.

2014 Ford Transit Connect Check Engine Light Reset

Resetting the check engine light on a 2014 Ford Transit Connect can be done after the underlying issue is repaired, but simply clearing codes without fixing the cause is a temporary fix that can mask worsening problems.

Our technicians use OEM tools to read pending and permanent codes, perform repairs with genuine Ford parts, and confirm the repair by clearing the code and running system checks. Dealership service offers transparent documentation, warranty coverage, and access to recalls or software updates that independent shops may miss. We also highlight immediate and long-term savings: correct repairs improve fuel economy, reduce repeat visits, and protect the catalytic converter and engine life. Service financing is available if you need repairs now and prefer to pay over time.
