2013 Ram 2500 Check Engine Light Reset

Resetting the check engine light on a 2013 Ram 2500 may seem simple, but a reset without repair only hides an underlying issue. Our team in Denver at Larry H. Miller Chrysler Dodge Ram FIAT Denver follows a diagnostic-first approach: we scan the vehicle’s onboard systems, interpret trouble codes, and recommend OEM repairs or battery replacement if needed. Resetting the light is only appropriate after confirming the malfunction is resolved—otherwise the problem may return, escalate, and cost more in parts and labor. At our service center you’ll get transparent estimates, factory-trained technicians, and genuine RAM parts that preserve vehicle longevity.

2013 Ram 2500 Check Engine Light Codes

Common check engine light codes for the 2013 Ram 2500 include oxygen sensor (P0130–P0167), EVAP system faults (P0440–P0457), and misfire codes (P0300–P0312). Left unfixed, an oxygen sensor failure increases fuel consumption and emissions and can damage the catalytic converter—an expensive repair. EVAP leaks often start as a loose cap but can become costly if vapor system components fail. Misfires can lead to poor performance, reduced fuel economy, and long-term engine damage. At Larry H. Miller Chrysler Dodge Ram FIAT Denver, our certified techs explain each code, present repair options with clear pricing, and use OEM parts to protect your truck’s reliability. Our approach often costs less than independent shops because precise diagnostics avoid unnecessary parts and repeated labor, delivering immediate savings and preserving long-term value.
