2012 Ford E-Series Wagon E-350 Check Engine Light Codes

Common check engine light codes for a 2012 Ford E-Series Wagon E-350 often point to oxygen sensor faults (P0130–P0167), misfires (P0300–P0312), EVAP system leaks (P0440–P0457), and catalytic converter efficiency issues (P0420–P0430).

At Larry H. Miller Ford Lincoln Draper in Draper, UT, our diagnostics identify the precise code and outline the estimated cost to repair, plus the long-term savings from addressing the root cause now — fewer fuel costs, avoided component replacements, and preserved resale value. We emphasize certified service, OEM parts, and clear communication. Repairs performed under warranty must be completed at a certified dealership to retain coverage.
