Check Engine Light Reset

Resetting the check engine light on your 2013 Dodge Grand Caravan can be straightforward, but a reset without diagnosis risks masking a serious issue. Our technicians at Larry H. Miller Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram Boise explain the difference between clearing a code and completing a proper repair. We follow OEM procedures to ensure the light stays off for the right reasons — replacing a failed sensor with a certified part, correcting fuel or ignition problems, or addressing emissions components. Dealer service provides clear records for warranty and resale value; repairs covered by warranty must be performed at a certified dealership to preserve coverage. Transparency is core to our process: we show diagnostic results, outline options, and quantify immediate and long-term savings of each repair path.

2013 Dodge Grand Caravan Check Engine Light Codes

In Boise, ID, owners bring 2013 Dodge Grand Caravan vehicles to Larry H. Miller Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram Boise for common codes like P0420 (catalyst efficiency), P0171/P0174 (fuel trim lean), P0300 (random/multiple misfires), and O2 sensor faults. Each code has a clear path: for example, ignoring a P0420 can lead to costly catalytic converter replacement; addressing it early often requires a sensor or repair that saves hundreds compared with converter replacement. A P0300 misfire left unchecked can damage pistons and catalytic systems; diagnosing and repairing ignition coils, spark plugs, or fuel components promptly minimizes both parts and labor costs over time. Our service team provides transparent, itemized estimates and uses OEM parts to maximize lifespan. We emphasize convenience — online booking, comfortable customer amenities, and efficient bays — plus perks like certified warranty work and service financing so you can fix problems now and spread payments. Review our service specials and schedule service to get prioritized diagnostics at fair, predictable costs in Boise.
