Check Engine Light Flashing

The check engine light flashing in a 2019 Ford Taurus usually means a severe misfire or an issue that could damage the catalytic converter — this is a situation that requires immediate attention. A flashing light indicates the engine is running poorly enough to create unburned fuel entering the exhaust, which rapidly overheats and degrades emissions equipment. At Coggin Deland Ford in Deland, FL, our technicians are trained on Ford-specific diagnostics and use OEM-level tools to identify root causes quickly, preventing further damage and costly repairs. We begin with a comprehensive scan to capture fault codes, then perform targeted tests to isolate ignition, fuel, or sensor failures. Choosing dealership service provides transparent pricing, warranties on parts and labor, and documented repair history that helps preserve vehicle value. For many customers, prompt intervention reduces both immediate repair costs and long-term expenses by preventing catastrophic component failures. If you see a flashing light, do not drive long distances; contact us to schedule service and ask about current service specials that may apply.

2019 Ford Taurus Check Engine Light Reset

Resetting the check engine light on a 2019 Ford Taurus can be as simple as repairing the underlying fault and clearing codes, but a reset without repair hides persistent issues and may lead to more expensive damage. At Coggin Deland Ford we emphasize a responsible approach: our certified technicians diagnose the cause, perform needed repairs with OEM parts, and then reset the system so the vehicle returns to factory specifications. This process ensures accurate long-term performance and maintains warranty coverage — remember that any warranty repairs must be completed at a certified dealership. Transparency is core to our service: you’ll receive a clear estimate, a technician explanation, and options including service financing so you can get repairs now and pay over time. Using our certified service also gives you access to manufacturer updates, precise parts matching, and documented service records that protect resale value. Before clearing a light, visit our service team to evaluate the fault and take advantage of available service specials.

2019 Ford Taurus Check Engine Light Codes

Common check engine light codes for a 2019 Ford Taurus include P0420 (catalyst system efficiency), P0171/P0174 (fuel trim/lean condition), P0300 (multiple misfires), and oxygen sensor codes such as P0133. Each code points to potentially different issues and varying cost implications: leaving a P0420 unaddressed can accelerate catalytic converter failure, leading to repairs that cost multiple hundreds or thousands of dollars; P0171/P0174 may start as a simple vacuum leak or mass airflow sensor problem but left unchecked will lower fuel economy and increase long-term engine wear; misfires (P0300 series) can damage downstream components and degrade performance. At Coggin Deland Ford in Deland, FL, our team prioritizes accurate diagnosis and cost-effective repair plans. We explain the immediate costs and the long-term savings of fixing the problem right the first time, using OEM parts and backed warranties.
