2018 Ram Promaster City Check Engine Light Reset

The check engine light reset for a 2018 Ram Promaster City should be treated as part of a proper diagnostic workflow rather than a quick erase. Our technicians at Larry H. Miller Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram Boise begin with a full OBD-II scan to capture stored and pending codes, then verify live data from sensors and systems — fuel trim, misfire counts, oxygen sensor readings, and EVAP status — to ensure the underlying fault is resolved. Simply clearing codes without addressing the root cause risks recurring faults and concealed damage that can affect fuel economy, emissions, and long-term drivetrain health. Because we use OEM parts and updated dealer software, resets performed here include follow-up verification and documentation that protects your warranty and vehicle history. We make costs transparent and show how doing the job right the first time produces immediate savings (fewer return visits) and long-term savings (better fuel economy, fewer component failures).

2018 Ram Promaster City Check Engine Light Codes

In Boise, drivers bring their 2018 Ram Promaster City to Larry H. Miller Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram Boise for reliable code diagnosis and transparent repair estimates. Common codes we see on this model include P0300 (random/multiple misfires), P0135/P0155 (oxygen sensor heater circuit), P0420 (catalyst system efficiency), P0171 (system too lean), and P0455 (EVAP large leak). Ignoring these codes can escalate repair costs: a misfire left unaddressed can damage catalytic converters (replacement costing hundreds to over a thousand dollars), fuel system issues reduce MPG and lead to extra fuel expense, and EVAP leaks can fail emissions inspections. Our technicians use precise tests to separate sensor faults from mechanical faults and present clear options with OEM parts and warranties. Choosing our dealership often costs less than independent shops when you factor in accurate diagnosis, genuine parts, and fewer repeat repairs. For convenience, schedule appointment and review our service specials to maximize value.

Check Engine Light Flashing

A flashing check engine light on a 2018 Ram Promaster City is an urgent signal — typically indicating active misfire conditions or other faults that can damage the catalytic converter if driven hard. At Larry H. Miller Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram Boise we ask drivers to stop driving when safe and bring the vehicle in immediately so our certified technicians can perform priority diagnostics. Flashing lights often require rapid attention: unresolved misfires can overheat and destroy exhaust components, and that increases repair costs significantly. We offer priority scheduling, OEM repairs, and service financing so you can get the necessary work done now and pay over time. Ask our advisors about loyalty programs and seasonal service specials that reduce cost.
