2014 Jeep Compass Check Engine Light Codes
Common check engine light codes for a 2014 Jeep Compass in Denver include P0420 (catalyst system efficiency), P0171/P0174 (fuel trim/lean condition), P0300–P0304 (misfires), and P0130–P0167 (oxygen sensor circuits). Each code represents a different level of urgency and potential expense if left untreated: for example, ignoring a P0420 could lead to full catalytic converter failure, a costly repair that also affects emissions compliance; untreated fuel trim or oxygen sensor faults reduce fuel economy and can lead to premature spark plug and catalytic system wear; misfires left unchecked risk engine damage and degraded drivability. At Larry H. Miller Colorado Jeep we diagnose codes with OEM-level scanners, explain part versus labor costs, and provide transparent comparisons between repair options. Our factory-trained technicians prioritize solutions that deliver the best long-term value—often saving customers money compared with repeated repairs at lesser-equipped shops. We also verify warranty eligibility and apply available service specials. To minimize downtime and protect your investment, schedule service with us in Denver and get a clear, prioritized plan to fix codes right the first time.
