2013 Ford Explorer Check Engine Light Reset
Resetting a check engine light on a 2013 Ford Explorer can be simple or misleading depending on the underlying fault. At Larry H. Miller Ford Lakewood we never recommend merely clearing codes without addressing the root cause: a reset without repair can mask problems that worsen over time. Our process begins with a full OEM diagnostic, clear explanation of codes and consequences, and a transparent repair estimate that emphasizes immediate and long-term savings. We use factory parts and procedures so resets and repairs meet manufacturer standards and preserve warranties; any work covered under warranty must be performed at a certified dealership to remain valid. Choosing our dealership gives you trained Ford technicians, documented repairs, and confidence that the root issue is resolved rather than hidden. Before we clear any code, we verify the repair with a post-service test drive and re-scan. To arrange this care, schedule appointment or review current service specials to maximize value.
2013 Ford Explorer Check Engine Light Codes
Common codes for the 2013 Ford Explorer include P0420 (catalyst system efficiency), P0300–P0306 (random/multiple misfires), P0171/P0174 (fuel system lean), and oxygen sensor faults.

Miller Ford Lakewood we diagnose codes with OEM-grade scanners, prioritize repairs that deliver long-term value, and discuss cost-effective options that often save you money over independent shops by reducing repeat visits and ensuring correct repairs the first time. Our certified technicians explain the full impact of each code, the likely repair timeline, and warranty coverage.
