Check Engine Light Flashing

The check engine light flashing on a 2016 Chrysler Town and Country is a sign of an active, possibly severe misfire or another condition that can damage the catalytic converter and other components if driven. A flashing indicator often means your engine is running poorly right now — increased fuel consumption, rough idle, reduced power, or fuel dilution can follow. At Larry H. Miller Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram Boise we prioritize rapid diagnosis to prevent escalation: our factory-trained technicians run a full scan, perform road-cycle tests, and inspect ignition, fuel, and emissions components to pinpoint the root cause. Choosing our dealership provides clear advantages — OEM parts, warranty protection, and service financing so you can address urgent repairs without delay. We also post rotating service specials to reduce out-of-pocket expense.

Resetting the check engine light on a 2016 Chrysler Town and Country is straightforward only after the underlying fault is corrected; simply clearing codes without repair often results in the light returning and conceals progressive damage.

Using dealership service ensures transparent diagnostics, genuine OEM parts, and technician certification — all critical for maintaining warranty coverage and maximizing longevity. We show itemized work and explain immediate and long-term savings of proper repairs versus temporary fixes. If you want to reset and verify repairs in one visit, take advantage of our service financing options and current service specials. You can quickly schedule service online to book a diagnostic and reset as part of a comprehensive repair plan.

2016 Chrysler Town and Country Check Engine Light Codes

Common check engine codes on a 2016 Chrysler Town and Country include P0420 (catalyst efficiency), P0300 (random/multiple misfires), P0455 (EVAP large leak), P0171 (system too lean), and oxygen sensor faults such as P0135. Each carries risks and potential costs: ignoring P0420 may lead to catalytic converter failure that can cost thousands to replace, unresolved P0300 can cause severe engine damage and reduced fuel economy, P0455 may fail emissions testing and indicate a fuel vapor leak, and P0171 can point to vacuum leaks or fuel delivery issues that degrade performance. At Larry H. Miller Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram Boise we provide a clear action plan and cost estimate for each fault, emphasizing how timely repair saves money over time by avoiding cascading failures.
