Check Engine Light Flashing
The check engine light flashing on your 2016 Ford Escape signals a more urgent condition—often an active misfire that can cause catalytic converter damage, increased emissions, or sudden loss of power. Driving with a flashing light risks costly downstream repairs and can create unsafe driving conditions. At Larry H. Miller Ford Lakewood in Lakewood, CO, our certified technicians treat flashing warnings as priority repairs: we perform a thorough scan, inspect ignition components, fuel delivery, and sensors, and present a clear plan with OEM parts and labor estimates. Choosing dealership service means transparency—every recommended repair is explained with immediate and long-term cost comparisons so you understand the investment in longevity and efficiency. We feature dedicated bays to minimize wait time and offer service financing if you need flexible payment options.

2016 Ford Escape Check Engine Light Reset
Resetting the check engine light on a 2016 Ford Escape is straightforward once the root cause is addressed, but a simple reset without repair can mask recurring or worsening problems. At Larry H. Miller Ford Lakewood, we recommend a full diagnostic and repair workflow before any reset so the underlying issue doesn’t return. Our process includes OEM diagnostic tools, manufacturer software updates, and genuine parts—ensuring the reset stays permanent and doesn’t jeopardize warranty coverage. Transparency is key: we document repairs, provide written estimates, and explain potential long-term savings from using OEM components and certified labor. For warranty-covered work, repairs must be done at a certified dealership to preserve coverage; our technicians will verify and handle claims if applicable. To make service convenient, you can schedule service online, review current service specials, and inquire about service financing to spread payments while keeping your Escape protected and reliable.
2016 Ford Escape Check Engine Light Codes
Common check engine light codes for the 2016 Ford Escape include P0300-series misfire codes, P0420 catalytic efficiency, P0171/P0174 fuel trims indicating lean conditions, and P0420 related to the catalytic converter. Each code has associated costs and risks when left unaddressed: misfires can ruin the catalytic converter (thousands in repairs), fuel trim issues can reduce fuel economy and accelerate engine wear, and failing sensors can degrade emissions performance and trigger failed inspections. At Larry H. Miller Ford Lakewood, we explain these outcomes clearly and provide cost-effective repair paths using OEM parts and factory procedures to minimize repeat visits and maximize vehicle life. Our certified technicians diagnose the exact failure, show you code readouts, and recommend preventive steps to avoid future issues. We emphasize immediate and long-term savings by fixing root causes early, and offer service financing to help you act quickly.
