Check Engine Light Flashing

The sight of a flashing check engine light on your 2020 Jeep Renegade signals an urgent condition—often an engine misfire that can quickly damage the catalytic converter and other components. In Boise, ID, Larry H. Miller Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram Boise recommends pulling over safely and contacting our service center for immediate guidance. A flashing light typically means active misfires, which increase emissions and can cause overheating, rough running, and accelerated wear. Our factory-trained technicians use manufacturer-grade diagnostic tools to isolate the misfire source—whether ignition coils, spark plugs, fuel delivery, or sensor failures—and we provide a clear, written estimate before we proceed. Choosing our dealership means choosing OEM parts, certified workmanship, and warranty protection; in many scenarios we deliver lower total cost of ownership than independent shops because repairs are done right the first time. We post current offers on our service specials page, and we also provide service financing so you can address urgent repairs immediately and pay over time. Call us or schedule service online to get priority attention and avoid escalation of damage.

We also outline immediate and long-term savings: accurate diagnostics prevent repeat visits, extend component life, and maintain fuel efficiency.

2020 Jeep Renegade Check Engine Light Codes

Common check engine light codes for the 2020 Jeep Renegade include P0420 (catalyst system efficiency), P0171/P0174 (fuel trim lean), P0300–P0304 (misfires), and various oxygen sensor or EVAP codes. Each code has different consequences: unattended P0420 can signal a failing catalytic converter that becomes costly to replace; persistent P030x misfires damage the catalytic converter and reduce drivability; lean codes (P0171/P0174) can lead to poor fuel economy and increased engine wear. At Larry H. Miller Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram Boise our service advisors explain the cost of inaction and the savings of timely repair—fixing a sensor early is far less expensive than replacing a converter or repairing damage caused by continued misfires.
