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. Choosing David McDavid Ford in Texas means access to certified diagnostics that identify the true root cause, saving you money over time by preventing ineffective repairs.
