2016 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD Check Engine Light Reset

The check engine light reset process for a 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD begins with a complete diagnostic scan to identify stored codes and freeze-frame data; simply clearing the light without diagnosis risks masking an ongoing fault. At Larry H. Miller Chevrolet Murray in Murray, UT, our certified technicians use OEM-level scan tools to read advanced manufacturer data, verify symptoms, and confirm repairs before any reset is performed. Resetting the lamp is only recommended after defects are corrected because a cleared code can reappear and hide progressive damage.

We provide clear estimates, documented repairs, and warranty support where applicable; remember, warranty-covered repairs must be completed at a certified dealership to remain valid.

2016 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD Check Engine Light Codes

Common check engine light codes for the 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD include P0300 (random/multiple cylinder misfire), P0420 (catalyst system efficiency low), P0171/P0174 (fuel trim lean), and oxygen sensor codes (P0130–P0167). Ignoring each carries progressive costs: misfires can damage pistons and catalysts, turning an inexpensive ignition or injector repair into a costly catalytic converter replacement; P0420 left unresolved often leads to higher emissions and failed inspections; lean fuel codes can accelerate engine wear and reduce fuel economy. At Larry H. Miller Chevrolet Murray, our local team in Murray, UT, diagnoses the exact cause and provides transparent repair options.
