Check Engine Light Flashing

The sight of a flashing check engine light on a 2016 Chrysler 300 usually means a severe misfire or a condition that could damage the catalytic converter if driven. Flashing warnings require immediate attention: continued driving can rapidly escalate repair costs and decrease long-term reliability. At Larry H. Miller Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram Boise in Boise, ID, our certified technicians prioritize safety and diagnostics. We will perform a prioritized inspection of ignition, fuel delivery, emissions and charging systems to identify root causes. In many cases the issue is repairable quickly — for example, spark plugs, ignition coils, or a failing sensor — but the key value we offer is accuracy and OEM parts that protect your vehicle’s long-term value. We also combine diagnostics with battery testing and charging system evaluation to rule out any electrical causes. Check our service specials for bundled savings on diagnostics and related repairs, and remember we offer service financing so you can address urgent needs now and pay later.

2016 Chrysler 300 Check Engine Light Codes

Common codes for the 2016 Chrysler 300 often point to oxygen sensor faults (P0130–P0167 range), misfires (P0300–P0312), EVAP leaks (P0440–P0455), and catalytic converter performance (P0420). Ignoring these codes has costs: oxygen sensor failure reduces fuel economy and increases emissions and can allow unburned fuel to damage the catalytic converter — a much pricier repair. Misfires left unchecked can overheat and ruin the catalytic converter, and EVAP leaks can lead to failed emissions tests and reduced fuel efficiency. Our Boise service center at Larry H. Miller Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram Boise provides clear estimates that compare short-term repair cost with long-term savings, helping you choose the best path. With factory diagnostic tools, OEM parts and certified technicians we often deliver lower total cost of ownership than repeated visits to independent shops. We also document findings for warranty claims when applicable and offer service financing to help you address repairs without delay.
