2020 Ford EcoSport Check Engine Light Codes

On the 2020 Ford EcoSport, common check engine codes you’ll see in our Lakewood, CO shop at Larry H. Miller Ford Lakewood include P0300 (random/multiple misfire), P0420 (catalyst system efficiency low), P0171 (system too lean), P0455 (evap system large leak) and sensor-related codes such as P0135 (oxygen sensor heater circuit). Ignoring these codes can escalate costs: a small vacuum or EVAP leak may be inexpensive to repair but left unattended can trigger failed emissions tests and reduced fuel economy; a persistent misfire risks catalytic converter damage that can cost thousands; long-term lean running conditions accelerate engine wear. Our technicians run a precise Ford factory scan, verify data, and present repair options with transparent pricing so you avoid surprise bills.
