2014 Ford Explorer Check Engine Light Codes

The most frequent diagnostic codes for a 2014 Ford Explorer in the Lakewood, CO market include P0420 (catalyst system efficiency), P0171/P0174 (fuel trim lean), P0300 series (misfires), and P0455 (evaporative emission system leak). Ignoring these codes can increase fuel costs, reduce performance, and cause costly downstream damage—P0420 left untreated can ruin a catalytic converter, a repair that may cost significantly more than early intervention. At Larry H. Miller Ford Lakewood our certified technicians use OEM-grade scan tools and apply Ford-recommended fixes to restore performance and protect your investment. We explain repair options clearly, provide free estimates, and emphasize long-term savings by preventing secondary failures. Take advantage of our transparent pricing and service specials, and schedule service online to get priority diagnostic attention from factory-trained staff.

2014 Ford Explorer Check Engine Light Reset

Resetting the check engine light on a 2014 Ford Explorer is simple technically but risky without fixing the root cause. A reset clears codes temporarily but won’t prevent recurring issues.

Choosing dealership service means certified technicians, warranty-backed parts, and full service records that protect resale value. We explain when a reset is appropriate—such as after a confirmed repair—and when extended testing is needed. Our process includes clear written estimates, upfront advice about immediate and long-term savings, and options for service financing to make repairs affordable. To protect your vehicle and warranty, schedule appointment with our team and review current service specials.
