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). Each code has a clear cost implication: ignoring misfires risks damaged catalytic converters and rod bearings, multiplying repair costs from a few hundred to several thousand dollars; fuel trim issues left unresolved cause poor fuel economy and increased wear on fuel system components; and catalytic problems can escalate into full exhaust or engine damage.

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.
