2010 Ford Shelby GT500 Check Engine Light Codes

Common check engine light codes for a 2010 Ford Shelby GT500 often relate to oxygen sensors (P0130–P0167), misfires (P0300–P0312), and emissions or EVAP system faults (P0440–P0456). Each carries specific risks: oxygen sensor faults can reduce fuel economy and damage catalytic converters if ignored; misfires can quickly damage pistons and catalytic systems; EVAP leaks may degrade emissions performance and lead to failed inspections. Repair costs vary by issue — sensor replacements are typically moderate, while catalytic converter or engine repairs can be significant.
