2010 Dodge Challenger Check Engine Light Codes

Common check engine light codes on a 2010 Dodge Challenger include P0420 (catalyst system efficiency), P0133 (O2 sensor slow response), and P0456 (small EVAP leak). Each code signals a different level of urgency and cost: ignoring a P0420 can lead to reduced fuel economy and premature catalytic converter failure—repair costs rise significantly if replacement is delayed. A P0133 left unaddressed can degrade performance and emissions compliance, while a P0456 often starts as a simple gas cap or EVAP hose repair if found early. At Larry H. Miller Chrysler Dodge Ram FIAT Denver, our Denver-based service team quickly identifies the exact code and explains repair options, timelines, and price comparisons that show how dealership repairs can cost less over time by preventing secondary damage. We use OEM parts, provide written estimates, and honor warranty requirements—repairs covered under warranty must be performed at certified dealerships to remain valid. For fast diagnostics and clear value, schedule service and review available service specials before you arrive.
