2021 Ford Transit Crew Van Check Engine Light Codes
At Coggin Deland Ford in Deland, FL, we see a predictable set of check engine light codes on the 2021 Ford Transit Crew Van. Common codes include P0420 (catalyst efficiency), P0300–P0306 (misfires), P0171/P0174 (lean fuel conditions), and P0130–P0167 family codes for oxygen or upstream sensor faults. Left untreated, a P0420 can lead to failed emissions tests and costly catalytic converter replacement, while misfires (P030x) can damage pistons and catalytic components if you continue driving; lean conditions can accelerate engine wear and reduce fuel economy. Our service team isolates root causes — for instance, lean codes often relate to intake leaks or fuel-system faults, not just sensors — and recommends repairs that preserve engine life and lower lifetime cost of ownership. We use OEM parts, manufacturer procedures, and provide clear estimates, so customers understand immediate repair needs and long-term benefits like improved fuel economy and avoided component failure. To get a prioritized plan for your vehicle, schedule service online and check current service specials to save on recommended repairs.

A flashing check engine light on a 2021 Ford Transit Crew Van indicates a severe misfire or condition that can cause immediate catalytic converter damage and unsafe driving.
