2016 Ford Flex Check Engine Light Codes

At Coggin Deland Ford in Deland, FL, we see a handful of frequent codes on the 2016 Ford Flex: P0300 (random/multiple cylinder misfire), P0420 (catalyst system efficiency low), P0171 (system too lean), P0455 (EVAP large leak), and P0135 (oxygen sensor heater circuit). Left unaddressed, these can escalate from a simple sensor replacement or fuel system service into much larger bills — for example, ignoring a P0420 that stems from an aging catalytic converter can lead to a replacement that costs substantially more than early diagnostics and repairs. Our technicians provide a precise code read, explain each possible repair and the cost-to-fix versus cost-to-ignore, and recommend the OEM parts and procedures that maximize the Flex’s longevity. Choosing Coggin Deland Ford means you get factory-trained technicians, quick turn times, and transparent pricing; we also offer service financing to make repairs manageable and a range of service specials to reduce out-of-pocket expense. Schedule your diagnostic or view inventory and parts availability via our website for added convenience.
