2011 Jeep Compass Check Engine Light Codes
At Larry H. Miller Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram Boise, our service team handles the most common 2011 Jeep Compass check engine light codes with speed and clarity. Codes such as P0420 (catalytic system efficiency), P0133 (O2 sensor slow response), P0300 (random/multiple cylinder misfire), and P0455 (large evaporative emission leak) are frequently seen and diagnosed in Boise.
