Check Engine Light Flashing
When the check engine light is flashing on a 2010 Dodge Avenger, it indicates a potentially serious condition—often an engine misfire that can damage the catalytic converter or lead to more extensive engine harm if ignored. A flashing warning requires immediate attention because continued driving under those circumstances can escalate repair costs and leave you stranded. At Larry H. Miller Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram Boise, our technicians are trained to prioritize safety and rapid diagnosis. We use OEM diagnostic equipment to read live data streams and isolate misfires, ignition faults, or fuel delivery issues quickly. Our service advisors clearly explain repair options, anticipated costs, and how prompt action preserves your Avenger’s longevity.

2010 Dodge Avenger Check Engine Light Codes
Common check engine light codes for the 2010 Dodge Avenger often include P0455 (evaporative system leak), P0420 (catalytic converter efficiency), P0300–P0304 (random and cylinder misfires), and oxygen sensor codes like P0135. Each code points to different urgency and cost implications: leaving a P0455 unchecked may reduce fuel efficiency and trigger emissions failures; ignoring P0420 can lead to catalytic converter replacement, which is significantly more expensive than early intervention; unaddressed misfires (P0300 range) risk catalytic damage and poor drivability; and failing oxygen sensors will degrade mileage over time. At Larry H. Miller Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram Boise, we explain these risks in plain language and present cost-effective repair strategies that often save money long term. Our certified technicians use OEM parts to restore efficiency and reliability, and warranty repairs must be completed at a certified dealership to remain valid.
