2010 Chrysler 300 Check Engine Light Codes

Common check engine light codes on a 2010 Chrysler 300 include P0420 (catalyst system efficiency), P0300 (random/multiple cylinder misfire), P0135 (oxygen sensor heater circuit), and P0455 (evaporative emission system leak). Each code carries a clear cost-of-delay: an unchecked misfire (P0300) can ruin the catalytic converter; an EVAP leak (P0455) lowers fuel economy and can fail emissions testing; oxygen sensor faults degrade efficiency and throttle response. At Larry H. Miller Chrysler Dodge Ram FIAT Denver in Denver, CO, our certified technicians diagnose these codes with factory-grade scanners, explain repair cost projections, and outline how early intervention saves money over time. We pride ourselves on fast service lanes, OEM parts, honest estimates, and warranty guidance — repairs covered under warranty must be performed by a certified dealership to remain valid.
