2010 Dodge Ram Pickup 1500 Check Engine Light Codes
The most common codes owners see on a 2010 Dodge Ram Pickup 1500 include misfire codes (P0300-P0306), oxygen sensor codes (P0130-P0167), catalytic efficiency codes such as P0420, fuel trim lean codes like P0171, and evap system codes such as P0440. Ignoring these can be costly: misfires can ruin a catalytic converter (replacement often exceeding $1,000), oxygen sensor failures increase fuel consumption and emissions, and evap leaks can lead to failed emissions tests and recurring driveability complaints. At Larry H. Miller Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram Boise our technicians diagnose and explain each code’s immediate safety impact and long-term cost if left untreated. We emphasize OEM replacement parts, warranty protection, and value-driven repair plans that often save more over time than a quick independent fix. To get started, schedule service and review our service specials to reduce initial out-of-pocket expense.
