2016 Ram 2500 Check Engine Light Reset
The check engine light reset for a 2016 Ram 2500 can be done quickly once an accurate diagnostic confirms and resolves the underlying fault.

We also inspect related systems — including the battery, charging system, emissions components, and sensors — to ensure the repair is complete and the light won’t return.

We clearly communicate repair options, labor time, and immediate versus long-term cost impacts, highlighting how addressing issues promptly avoids progressive damage and higher future costs.

2016 Ram 2500 Check Engine Light Codes
Common check engine light codes on a 2016 Ram 2500 often include sensor-related codes (oxygen sensors, mass airflow), EVAP system faults, and misfire or catalytic converter-related codes. Left unaddressed, oxygen sensor failures increase fuel consumption and emissions, potentially damaging the catalytic converter — repairs that escalate from modest sensor replacement costs to hundreds or thousands for converter replacement. EVAP leaks may start as inexpensive hose or cap repairs but can lead to failed state inspections if ignored. Misfires and ignition faults stress engine components and can quickly increase repair bills if persistent; a weak battery or failing alternator can contribute to these issues. At Larry H. Miller Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram 104th, we diagnose codes with OEM-level tools to determine immediate fixes and long-term implications, offering straightforward estimates and warranty-backed parts. Our certified technicians explain the cost-benefit of timely repair — showing how early intervention saves money and preserves your 2016 Ram 2500’s reliability.
