Check Engine Light Flashing

The check engine light flashing in a 2014 Dodge Durango is an urgent warning that should prompt immediate attention.

2014 Dodge Durango Check Engine Light Codes

Common codes for a 2014 Dodge Durango include P0420 (catalyst system efficiency), P0171/P0174 (system too lean), P0300–P0306 (misfires), and oxygen sensor or EVAP-related codes that often trace back to simple items like a loose gas cap or failing oxygen sensor. Left unaddressed, each of these can create escalating costs: a loose gas cap is inexpensive to correct but can cause failed emissions tests; oxygen sensor failure reduces fuel efficiency and can lead to catalytic converter damage costing many times more to replace. Misfires left unattended can ruin catalytic converters and risk engine damage. At Larry H. Miller Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram Boise we provide precise diagnostics and transparent estimates so you understand repair urgency and cost-benefit. Our certified technicians use OEM parts to restore performance and fuel economy, and we highlight immediate and long-term savings—plus available service financing—so necessary repairs are accessible.
