2016 Chevrolet Spark Check Engine Light Codes
The most common check engine light codes for a 2016 Chevrolet Spark that we see at Stevinson Chevrolet in Colorado include P0420 (catalyst system efficiency), P0427 (oxygen sensor range/performance), P0300-series (misfires), and P013x (oxygen sensor circuit). Ignoring these codes increases fuel consumption, accelerates component wear, and can lead to more expensive repairs such as catalytic converter replacement or engine damage. For example, leaving a P0300 misfire untreated can damage the catalytic converter and push repair costs from a modest ignition coil replacement into the thousands. At Stevinson Chevrolet our factory-trained technicians start with an accurate scan and targeted testing to avoid unnecessary part swaps. That means you often save money immediately by addressing the exact problem, and you save long-term by preventing downstream failures. We provide written estimates, OEM parts, and transparent guidance; repairs covered under warranty must be performed at a certified dealership to retain coverage. To make it easy, schedule service online and review current service specials before arrival.
2016 Chevrolet Spark Check Engine Light Reset
Resetting the check engine light on a 2016 Chevrolet Spark can seem simple — but a reset without diagnosis only hides an underlying issue. At Stevinson Chevrolet in Colorado we recommend a full diagnostic before any reset so you avoid recurring faults that waste time and money. Our process includes code readout, live-data evaluation, and a clear repair plan using OEM components. Choosing our dealership over an independent shop gives you factory-trained technicians, access to official service bulletins, and warranty-backed parts. We prioritize honest pricing and long-term value: accurate diagnostics reduce repeat labor and parts costs, which often makes dealership service less expensive overall than piecemeal repairs elsewhere. If you want prompt attention, you can schedule appointment online, take advantage of current service specials, and ask about service financing to manage larger repairs responsibly.

In many cases we can perform same-day repairs or schedule prioritized service to minimize downtime. We also offer seasonal and loyalty promotions; check our service specials before you come in.
