2020 Ford Fusion Check Engine Light Codes

The most common codes for a 2020 Ford Fusion include misfire codes (P0300–P0304), oxygen sensor codes (P0130–P0167), and catalytic converter efficiency codes (P0420). Left unaddressed, misfires can ruin catalytic converters and increase repair costs; oxygen sensor failures reduce efficiency and raise emissions; and catalytic issues, if ignored, lead to higher fuel costs and costly exhaust work. At Larry H. Miller Ford Lincoln Draper, our factory-trained technicians interpret codes in the context of drive data to recommend the precise fix and avoid unnecessary parts replacement. We provide clear estimates, highlight immediate savings of fixing small faults, and explain long-term value: improved MPG, lower emissions, and preserved resale value.
