2013 Dodge SRT Viper Check Engine Light Codes

When a code appears on a 2013 Dodge SRT Viper, it can represent anything from a loose gas cap to a major ignition or emissions fault. In Denver, drivers bring high-performance vehicles to Larry H. Miller Chrysler Dodge Ram FIAT Denver because our technicians know the SRT Viper’s V10 architecture and identify common codes quickly—P0300 (random/multiple misfires), P0420 (catalyst system efficiency), P0171/P0174 (fuel trim lean conditions), and oxygen sensor failures are frequent on performance cars that see spirited use. Ignoring these codes can escalate costs: a misfire left unresolved can damage pistons and catalytic converters (thousands to repair), a failing O2 sensor will increase fuel economy losses and emissions (hundreds), and a degraded catalytic converter can require replacement (often $1,000+).
