2019 Dodge Journey Check Engine Light Codes
At Larry H. Miller Dodge RAM FIAT Tucson in Tucson, AZ, our service team commonly sees OBD-II codes on the 2019 Dodge Journey such as P0420 (catalyst efficiency), P0171 (system too lean), P0300–P0304 (misfires), P0455 (EVAP large leak), and P0135 (oxygen sensor circuit). Left unaddressed, those issues can escalate: a persistent P0420 can mean a failing catalytic converter that costs thousands to replace; continued misfires (P030x) can damage pistons and converters and lead to poor fuel economy and drivetrain failure; EVAP leaks increase emissions and may result in failed inspections; bad O2 sensors reduce MPG and accelerate downstream parts wear. Our factory-trained technicians use OEM diagnostics to pinpoint the source, present clear repair options, and explain both immediate and long-term savings. We stock OEM parts or source them quickly to minimize downtime. For transparent pricing and dealer-only savings, check our service specials and schedule service online.
