2020 Ford Shelby GT500 Check Engine Light Codes

Common check engine codes for a 2020 Ford Shelby GT500 include P0300 (random/multiple misfires), P0171/P0174 (fuel trim faults), P0420 (catalyst efficiency low), and sensor-related codes (O2/MAP/MASS).

Choosing dealership service often costs less overall than independent shops once you include correct diagnosis, genuine OEM parts, warranty coverage, and the elimination of repeat repairs.
