2013 Chevrolet Silverado 3500HD Check Engine Light Reset

Resetting the check engine light on a 2013 Chevrolet Silverado 3500HD can be straightforward, but a reset without proper diagnosis is only a temporary fix. Our technicians at Larry H. Miller Casa Chevrolet in Albuquerque, NM explain why a full diagnostic scan is essential: resetting clears stored codes and may hide intermittent faults that will return and potentially cause sensor damage, catalytic converter strain, or decreased fuel economy. We use dealership-level scan tools and OEM procedures to not only reset the light but also resolve the underlying issue—whether it's an oxygen sensor, evap leak, ignition misfire, or battery/charging problem. Choosing our service means you get certified technicians, genuine Chevrolet parts, documented repairs that support vehicle resale value, and repairs covered under warranty when done at a certified dealership. We also offer service financing and regularly post service specials to reduce upfront costs. To protect your truck and ensure a lasting repair, schedule service with us and we'll review options and long-term savings before any work begins.

2013 Chevrolet Silverado 3500HD Check Engine Light Codes

Common check engine light codes for the 2013 Chevrolet Silverado 3500HD include P0420 (catalyst efficiency), P0171 (lean fuel trim), P0300 (random misfire), P0442 (evap leak), and P0128 (thermostat/coolant temperature). Ignoring these codes can quickly increase repair costs: a neglected P0420 can lead to a failed catalytic converter (thousands of dollars), unresolved misfires cause engine and emission system damage, and prolonged lean conditions reduce fuel economy and strain components—raising operating costs. At Larry H. Miller Casa Chevrolet in Albuquerque, our diagnostics include battery and alternator checks since low voltage can produce false or intermittent trouble codes. We prioritize transparency: you’ll receive a clear estimate, explanation of immediate vs. long-term impacts, and OEM repair options. Our facility focuses on speed and accuracy—often costing less than independent shops when factoring longevity, warranty coverage, and fewer repeat visits. Take advantage of current service specials and schedule service to address codes before they become expensive failures.

Check Engine Light Flashing

A flashing check engine light on a 2013 Chevrolet Silverado 3500HD signals an active misfire or a condition that could damage the catalytic converter and other engine systems if driven. This is a more urgent state than a steady light: stop driving if possible and bring your truck to Larry H. Miller Casa Chevrolet in Albuquerque immediately. Our technicians will assess ignition components, fuel injectors, compression, sensors, and the battery/charging system—low voltage can worsen misfires or cause erratic sensor behavior. We offer towing coordination, quick diagnostics, and same-day repairs for many common issues. For owners concerned about cost, we provide service financing and publish current service specials to lower immediate expense while protecting long-term value. Don’t risk further engine damage; schedule appointment online or contact us to prioritize safety and reliability.
