Check Engine Light Flashing
A flashing check engine light on a 2016 Ford C-Max Hybrid signals an active misfire or a condition that can rapidly damage the catalytic converter and drivetrain. Because hybrids use complex interactions between the gasoline engine and the electric system, a flashing indicator can indicate ignition failures, severe sensor faults, or fuel delivery problems. At Coggin Deland Ford in Deland, FL, our technicians prioritize flashing CELs as urgent: we inspect ignition coils, spark plugs, fuel pressure, and hybrid-specific components with OEM diagnostic tools to prevent cascading damage. Immediate dealer-level diagnosis often prevents expensive repairs later; addressing issues now preserves fuel economy, emissions compliance, and resale value. We offer clear estimates, OEM parts, and service financing so you can get the repairs started immediately.
