2014 Ford Flex Check Engine Light Codes

Common check engine light codes for a 2014 Ford Flex include P0420 (catalyst system efficiency), P0300/P0301 (random or cylinder misfire), and P0171/P0174 (fuel system running lean). If left unaddressed, a P0420 can lead to catalytic converter failure — a costly repair often avoided by timely sensor replacement. Misfires (P030x) can cause poor running, reduced fuel economy, and advanced engine wear; addressing ignition coils, plugs, or fuel delivery quickly saves both immediate fuel costs and long-term engine expenses. Lean codes can indicate vacuum leaks or fuel system problems that reduce performance and risk overheating. At Larry H. Miller Ford Lincoln Draper in Draper, UT, our diagnostic workflows identify the precise cause and provide clear cost scenarios so you can choose repairs that protect your 2014 Ford Flex. We emphasize convenience — fast lanes, OEM parts, and courteous service — plus the peace of mind that comes with warranty-backed repairs done by factory-trained technicians.
