2015 Chevrolet Silverado 3500HD Check Engine Light Codes

Common check engine light codes for the 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 3500HD include P0420 (catalyst system efficiency), P0300–P0308 (misfires), P0171/P0174 (fuel trim/air-fuel mix), and oxygen sensor codes. Left unchecked, P0420 can lead to repeated downstream failures and a costly catalytic converter replacement; early diagnosis often prevents that expense. Misfire codes can damage the catalytic converter and reduce fuel economy; timely repairs preserve engine life and save on fuel and long-term repairs. Fuel trim errors typically stem from vacuum leaks, bad sensors, or fuel delivery issues—addressing them quickly restores MPG and prevents engine wear. At Stevinson Chevrolet in CO, our certified technicians use factory scanners to read and interpret these codes accurately, so repairs are targeted and cost-effective. We emphasize transparent estimates, OEM parts, and the immediate and long-term savings of correct diagnosis.
