2020 Ford Escape Check Engine Light Reset
Resetting the check engine light on a 2020 Ford Escape should be the final step, not the first. A reset clears stored trouble codes but does not fix the underlying issue; that’s why Larry H. Miller Ford Lakewood in Lakewood, CO emphasizes a full diagnostic first. Our certified technicians use Ford OEM tools to read and interpret fault codes, perform live-data captures, and test components so we can recommend a repair that restores long-term reliability. If you only reset the light without addressing the fault, you risk repeating failures and more costly repairs later—our transparent estimates and factory-backed parts protect you from that risk. We also document service history in our system to preserve warranty coverage and vehicle value. For convenience, you can schedule service online, view current service specials, or call our service team at Larry H. Miller Ford Lakewood to discuss financing options that let you get necessary repairs now and pay over time.
2020 Ford Escape Check Engine Light Codes

Miller Ford Lakewood include P0420 (catalyst system efficiency), P0300 (random/multiple cylinder misfire), P0171 (system too lean), and P0442 (EVAP small leak). Left untreated, each can escalate: a P0420 can signal a failing catalytic converter—repair or replacement can range from several hundred to over a thousand dollars if damage spreads; P0300 misfires can lead to degraded engine performance and potential catalytic damage, often increasing repair costs significantly; P0171 lean conditions can be caused by vacuum leaks or fuel delivery issues that reduce fuel economy and engine life.
