2013 Dodge Charger Check Engine Light Reset

The check engine light reset might seem simple, but for a 2013 Dodge Charger it’s not just about clearing a code. A proper reset at Larry H. Miller Dodge RAM FIAT Tucson begins with a full diagnostics scan to capture pending and active trouble codes, verify live sensor data, and confirm that the underlying issue is repaired. Our technicians use OEM tools and procedures so resets reflect real repairs, not temporary fixes. Resetting without repair can mask problems that reduce fuel economy, increase emissions, and cause long-term engine damage. We provide a clear estimate, explain warranty coverage, and recommend genuine parts to ensure durability and performance. Take advantage of our service specials and, if needed, service financing to get the work done now. For convenience, schedule service online and choose a time that fits your day — our Tucson service center prioritizes prompt, transparent care backed by factory-trained technicians.

2013 Dodge Charger Check Engine Light Codes

Common check engine codes on a 2013 Dodge Charger include P0420 (catalyst efficiency), P0300–P0306 (misfires), P0171/P0174 (lean condition), and P0130–P0167 (oxygen sensor faults). Ignoring these codes can escalate costs: a bad oxygen sensor left unchecked can foul catalytic converters, turning a modest $200–$400 sensor job into a $1,000+ converter replacement. Misfires can damage pistons and catalytic systems, raising repair bills dramatically and reducing safety. At Larry H. Miller Dodge RAM FIAT Tucson we explain each code’s risk and cost implications and give a transparent cost-benefit path to repair. Our certified technicians use OEM parts to restore performance and MPG — the 2013 Dodge Charger’s 3.6L V6 rewards preventive maintenance with more efficient operation and longer service life. Review our service specials and schedule service to minimize downtime and long-term expense.
