2018 FIAT 124 Spider Check Engine Light Codes

The 2018 FIAT 124 Spider benefits from precise, code-specific diagnosis. Common codes we see at Larry H. Miller Chrysler Dodge Ram FIAT Denver include oxygen sensor (P0130–P0167), misfire codes (P0300–P0304), turbo boost sensor and charge-air faults, and EVAP system errors. Left unaddressed, oxygen sensor failures can reduce fuel economy and damage the catalytic converter—repairs that grow significantly more expensive over time. Ignition misfires may cause catalytic converter overheating and long-term engine damage. Turbo-related sensor faults can reduce power and increase wear. Our Denver service team prioritizes clear estimates, showing short- and long-term cost comparisons so you can make an informed choice. Choosing factory-trained technicians at our dealership means accurate troubleshooting, OEM parts, documented repairs (important for resale), and warranty-friendly service. We often deliver better total value than independent alternatives by preventing repeat visits and avoiding aftermarket compromises.

Resetting the check engine light on a 2018 FIAT 124 Spider is straightforward but should follow proper repair.

That process preserves warranty status and ensures long-term reliability. We emphasize transparency—explaining what triggered the light, the recommended repair, and how OEM parts and certified technicians reduce future costs. You’ll receive a clear work order and a technician’s checklist. If needed, take advantage of service financing to spread cost while protecting your vehicle’s performance.
