2022 Ford Ranger Check Engine Light Codes

Understanding common check engine codes for a 2022 Ford Ranger helps you make smarter repair decisions. Codes like P0420 (catalyst system efficiency), P0300 (random/multiple cylinder misfire), P0171/P0174 (fuel trim lean), and P013x (oxygen sensor) are frequent. Left unresolved, P0420 can lead to expensive catalytic converter replacement; P0300 may cause drivability loss and damage to pistons or converters; lean conditions like P0171/P0174 decrease fuel economy and stress the engine; oxygen sensor failures raise emissions and reduce MPG. At Bill Estes Ford Brownsburg our technicians diagnose each code precisely, provide transparent estimates, and explain immediate costs and long-term savings of proper repair. We use OEM parts, manufacturer procedures, and skilled technicians to avoid repeat failures. Repairs performed under warranty must be completed at a certified dealership to maintain coverage—our team handles that paperwork.
