2021 Ford Transit Check Engine Light Codes

In Mesa, AZ, Larry H. Miller Ford Mesa regularly decodes the most frequent check engine light codes for the 2021 Ford Transit so drivers know what to expect and why timely repairs matter. Typical codes we encounter include misfire detections (P0300 series), oxygen sensor faults (P0130–P0167 series), evaporative emission system leaks (P0440–P0455), and catalytic efficiency warnings (P0420). Left unaddressed, misfires can damage catalytic converters and increase repair costs significantly; oxygen sensor failure reduces fuel economy and raises emissions. EVAP leaks can cause failed emissions tests and wasted fuel, while catalytic issues may require expensive replacement when neglected. At Larry H. Miller Ford Mesa our certified Ford technicians use OEM diagnostic tools to identify codes precisely, outline repair options, and show how prompt attention can prevent cascading failures. We emphasize transparent pricing, available service specials, and service financing so you can proceed with repairs that protect your Ford Transit’s longevity and resale value.
