Check Engine Light Flashing

A flashing check engine light on your 2013 Dodge Avenger signals a potentially serious condition, such as a severe misfire that can overheat the catalytic converter or cause immediate drivability failure. When the light is flashing, continued driving risks extensive damage and higher repair costs. At Larry H. Miller Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram Boise we treat flashing indicators as urgent: our technicians perform a focused scan, road-test when needed, and prioritize corrective action to prevent collateral damage. Choosing our Boise service center means factory-trained technicians, OEM parts, and access to warranty support that independent shops can’t match.

2013 Dodge Avenger Check Engine Light Reset

Resetting the check engine light on a 2013 Dodge Avenger is straightforward for modern diagnostic tools, but a reset without repair can mask recurring or progressive faults. Our dealership approach pairs a code read with root-cause diagnosis so you leave with a reliable vehicle, not a cleared code and an unresolved problem. At Larry H. Miller Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram Boise we use OEM-level scanners and procedures, document findings, and explain repair choices, warranty implications, and expected outcomes. We emphasize transparency and quality: OEM parts, certified technicians, and repairs that preserve manufacturer warranty terms — any repairs covered under warranty must be performed at a certified dealership to remain valid.

2013 Dodge Avenger Check Engine Light Codes

Common codes for the 2013 Dodge Avenger include P0300 (random/multiple misfire), P0420 (catalyst system efficiency), P0171/P0174 (system too lean), and P0455 (EVAP leak). Left untreated, a P0300 misfire can damage pistons and the catalytic converter, driving repair costs from straightforward ignition work into multiple-hundred-dollar engine repairs. A P0420 often begins as an oxygen sensor fault but can escalate to a costly converter replacement if ignored. EVAP leaks like P0455 may be inexpensive to fix initially but will cause failed emissions tests and wasted fuel over time. At Larry H. Miller Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram Boise we explain these risks, provide honest estimates, and use OEM parts and factory procedures to protect long-term value.
