2026 Dodge Durango Check Engine Light Codes
Common codes for a 2026 Dodge Durango include P0300 (random/multiple misfires), P0420 (catalyst system efficiency), P0171/P0174 (fuel trim issues), and oxygen sensor codes. Left unaddressed, misfires (P0300) can quickly ruin a catalytic converter—repair costs can escalate from a few hundred dollars for ignition coils to thousands for a converter replacement. P0420 can signal failed catalysts or sensor faults; early diagnosis often yields an inexpensive sensor replacement rather than full exhaust work. Fuel trim and oxygen sensor codes often start as simple sensor or vacuum issues but can lead to poor fuel economy and engine wear if ignored. At Larry H. Miller Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram 104th in Denver, CO, our Dodge-certified technicians provide fast, accurate diagnostics and explain the cost-benefit of immediate repair versus deferred service. Our facility stocks OEM parts and offers warranty-backed repairs that translate to lower total ownership costs.
