2015 Ford Escape Check Engine Light Codes

Common diagnostic trouble codes for a 2015 Ford Escape include P0420 (catalyst system efficiency), P0171/P0174 (fuel trim/system lean), P0300–P0304 (misfires), and P0130–P0160 (oxygen sensor circuits). Ignoring these codes can escalate costs: leaving a P0420 unresolved may require a costly catalytic converter replacement, unresolved misfires can damage pistons and catalysts, and persistent lean conditions reduce fuel economy and accelerate wear. At Larry H. Miller Ford Lakewood, our Lakewood, CO service team explains the cost implications of each code and presents repair options that often cost less than independent shops because targeted dealership diagnostics prevent repeated work. We provide OEM replacements, certified technician labor, and documentation for warranty work—repairs under warranty must be completed at a certified dealership.
