2026 Dodge Hornet Check Engine Light Codes

Common codes for the 2026 Dodge Hornet include P0171/P0174 (fuel trim/lean conditions), P0300 (random/multiple cylinder misfire), P0420 (catalyst system efficiency), and P0440 (evaporative system leak). Ignoring these codes can produce increased fuel consumption, reduced performance, failed emissions tests, and potential damage that raises repair costs significantly. At Larry H. Miller Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram Boise in Boise, ID, we translate codes into practical repairs: for example, a P0420 left untreated can degrade catalytic converter life and lead to a four-figure replacement, while timely sensor or exhaust repairs are typically far less expensive.

We emphasize transparent pricing, available service specials, and the option to schedule appointment online for quick diagnostics and peace of mind.
