Check Engine Light Flashing

The sight of a flashing check engine light in your 2018 Ford Flex is an urgent warning: it commonly signals an active engine misfire that can quickly damage the catalytic converter and reduce drivability. When misfires occur, unburned fuel reaches the exhaust where it overheats and destroys emissions components — a repair that can escalate from a simple ignition coil or spark plug replacement to a costly catalytic converter job if ignored. At Coggin Deland Ford in Deland, FL, our priority is rapid, accurate diagnosis using factory-grade equipment so you can avoid compounding damage and higher future bills. Because we use OEM parts and factory-trained technicians, repairs completed here protect long-term vehicle health and warranty coverage. We frequently run special offers—see our service specials—and provide service financing to help you get necessary work done now. If your check engine light is flashing, stop driving if you experience loss of power and schedule service immediately; our team will evaluate, prioritize safety, and present clear options so you can get back on the road with confidence.

2018 Ford Flex Check Engine Light Codes

Common codes for a 2018 Ford Flex include P0420 (catalytic converter efficiency), P0171/P0174 (system too lean), P0300 (random/multiple misfires), P0135 (O2 sensor heater), and evap codes like P0455/P0442. Left unaddressed, these codes translate into concrete costs: an unchecked P0420 can lead to catalytic converter replacement, often in the thousands, while oxygen sensor or ignition repairs are typically far less expensive if completed early. At Coggin Deland Ford we emphasize convenience and clarity — same-day diagnostics when possible, transparent estimates, and OEM parts that maintain performance and resale value. Our certified technicians are experienced with the 3.5L V6 in the Flex and will explain immediate fixes versus long-term solutions, highlighting how prompt service saves money and prevents breakdowns. Take advantage of our service financing, check current service specials, and schedule service online to address codes quickly with the expertise of a factory-authorized dealer in Deland, FL.

2018 Ford Flex Check Engine Light Reset

Our approach protects your warranty and ensures repairs are done once and done right, offering better value than repeated independent fixes. We provide clear estimates, documented repairs, and discuss short- and long-term benefits like improved fuel economy, reduced emissions, and preserved drivetrain life.
