2019 Ram 1500 Check Engine Light Reset

The process to reset the check engine light on a 2019 Ram 1500 begins with a full diagnostic read of the OBD-II codes to ensure the root cause is resolved rather than masking an ongoing issue. Our factory-trained technicians at Larry H.

Repairs covered under warranty must be completed at a certified dealership to preserve coverage.

2019 Ram 1500 Check Engine Light Codes

Common check engine light codes for the 2019 Ram 1500 include P0420 (catalyst efficiency), P0300 (random/multiple misfire), P0171/P0174 (lean condition), and sensor codes for oxygen or mass airflow. Ignoring P0420 can lead to expensive catalytic converter replacement; addressing it early often preserves the converter and lowers total expense. Misfire codes like P0300 can point to ignition coils, spark plugs, or fuel issues — diagnosing promptly reduces fuel waste and prevents engine damage. A lean condition left untreated increases wear and can trigger fuel system failures. At Larry H. Miller Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram Boise in Boise, ID, our technicians explain each code’s implications, present OEM repair options, and estimate immediate and long-term costs so you can make an informed decision. We often cost less than independent shops while delivering factory-trained service and genuine parts, plus financing options and timely appointments.
