Check Engine Light Flashing

The check engine light flashing on a 2013 Dodge Challenger is an urgent symptom indicating active misfire or severe conditions that can cause catalytic converter damage and reduced engine performance. A flashing light often means unburned fuel is entering the exhaust — this can overheat and destroy the catalytic converter quickly if left unchecked. At Larry H. Miller Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram 104th in Denver, CO, our factory-trained technicians perform a prioritized diagnosis to identify ignition, fuel delivery, or sensor failures that create dangerous misfires. We explain repair options clearly, use OEM parts to restore engine function, and provide estimates that emphasize immediate and long-term savings by preventing more extensive repairs. We also offer service financing so you can address urgent repairs now and pay over time. Before driving long distances with a flashing light, schedule service online; check our service specials for current offers and loyalty program details.
