2013 Ford Edge Check Engine Light Codes

The most common check engine light codes on a 2013 Ford Edge include P0420 (catalytic converter efficiency), P0171/P0174 (fuel trim/hybrid system lean/rich conditions), P0300 (random/multiple misfires), and various oxygen sensor codes like P0135. Left unchecked, a P0420 can escalate into full converter failure—repairing late can cost significantly more than early attention due to added labor and parts replacement. Misfire codes, if ignored, cause catalytic damage and reduced fuel economy, leading to higher fuel bills and potential engine damage. At Larry H. Miller Ford Lincoln Draper in Draper, UT, our technicians diagnose these codes with Ford-approved tools and outline repair options, comparing immediate cost to long-term savings so you can make an informed choice. Using factory parts and our service expertise often results in lower total ownership cost than piecemeal fixes, and we honor warranties that must be serviced at certified dealerships. To prioritize safety and value, schedule service or review our service specials before you arrive.
