Check Engine Light Flashing

A flashing check engine light in a 2017 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sport RHD signals an urgent condition — typically a misfire that can overheat and damage the catalytic converter if you continue driving.

Our service advisors clearly explain the issue, warranty implications, and financing options so you can make an informed decision. Check our current service specials for promotions, then schedule service online to reserve priority diagnostics and protect your Wrangler’s longevity.
