Check Engine Light Flashing

The flashing check engine light on a 2017 Ford Transit Connect signals an active engine misfire or another condition that can damage the catalytic converter if driven. A flashing light is a higher priority than a steady indicator because it often means unburned fuel is entering the exhaust system, raising temperatures and risking expensive downstream damage. At Coggin Deland Ford in DeLand, FL, our factory-trained technicians use OEM diagnostic tools to capture live data and fault codes, identify misfires, and determine whether the issue stems from ignition systems, fuel delivery, or mechanical problems. Fast, accurate diagnosis not only reduces the immediate risk of further damage but saves you money over time by targeting the exact component that needs repair rather than replacing parts unnecessarily. We also provide transparent estimates, warranty verification, and service financing so repairs can start immediately while payments are manageable.
