Check Engine Light Flashing

The check engine light flashing on a 2016 Chrysler Town and Country indicates an active misfire or another condition that can cause catalytic converter damage if driven hard. A flashing light is more urgent than a steady light — it means the engine is misfiring or running poorly and unburned fuel may be entering the exhaust. Left unaddressed, a misfire can overheat or destroy the catalytic converter, turning a relatively low-cost repair into an expensive exhaust system replacement. At Larry H. Miller Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram 104th in Denver, CO, our certified technicians perform fast, accurate diagnostics that identify misfire causes — spark plugs, ignition coils, fuel delivery, or sensors — and provide a clear estimate before any work begins. We prioritize immediate safety and long-term savings, and we offer service financing so you can address urgent repairs without delay. Check our current service specials and schedule service right away to protect your Town and Country and avoid costly downstream damage.

2016 Chrysler Town and Country Check Engine Light Reset

Resetting the check engine light on a 2016 Chrysler Town and Country can be done with an OBD-II scanner, but clearing the code without fixing the underlying problem is only a temporary fix and may mask a serious issue. At our Denver dealership, we always diagnose and repair the root cause before recommending a reset. Dealership service delivers proven advantages: OEM parts, factory diagnostic tools, and technicians trained specifically on Chrysler vehicles ensure the repair is correct and warranty-compliant. Performing repairs at a certified dealership preserves warranty coverage and gives you confidence in long-term reliability. We also provide transparent pricing and explain the immediate and ongoing savings of correct diagnostics versus repeated independent attempts. If cost is a concern, ask about our service financing options and available service specials. When you’re ready, schedule appointment online and we’ll walk you through the repair plan and estimated timeframe so you can drive with confidence.

2016 Chrysler Town and Country Check Engine Light Codes

Common check engine codes for the 2016 Chrysler Town and Country include P0300 (random/multiple cylinder misfire), P0420 (catalyst system efficiency), P0171 (system too lean), and P0455 (EVAP system large leak). Each has cost and reliability implications: ignoring a P0300 misfire can ruin the catalytic converter and lead to expensive exhaust repairs; an untreated P0420 often indicates a failing catalytic converter, which is one of the higher-cost items to replace; P0171 and P0455 may lead to poor fuel economy, drivability issues, or failed emissions inspections. At Larry H. Miller Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram 104th in Denver, CO, our certified technicians use OEM diagnostic tools to pinpoint the exact code source and present repair options with transparent pricing and warranty protection.
