2016 Ford Shelby GT350 Check Engine Light Codes

Common trouble codes for a 2016 Ford Shelby GT350 include oxygen sensor (P0130–P0167), misfire codes (P0300–P0312), and catalytic efficiency errors (P0420). If left unfixed, an oxygen sensor fault can reduce fuel economy and increase emissions, costing more in fuel and parts over time; misfires can damage pistons and catalytic converters, multiplying repair costs; and catalytic issues can lead to failed emissions inspections and costly replacements. At David McDavid Ford in TX we provide transparent estimates, OEM parts, and factory-trained technicians who diagnose the true cause rather than treating symptoms. That approach reduces immediate repair spend and avoids long-term expenses from incorrect repairs. We also show how routine battery and electrical checks prevent codes triggered by low voltage. Use our schedule service system and check current service specials to maximize savings and protect your Shelby’s performance.
