2016 Ford Transit Connect Check Engine Light Codes

Common codes for a 2016 Ford Transit Connect include P0171 (system too lean), P0420 (catalyst efficiency below threshold), P0300 (random/multiple misfires), P0401 (insufficient EGR flow), and P0128 (coolant thermostat). Left unaddressed, these issues raise fuel costs, reduce performance, and can lead to expensive repairs—an unchecked P0420 can prematurely ruin a catalytic converter (costing $1,000+), while persistent misfires risk engine damage and higher towing or repair bills.
