Check Engine Light Flashing

A flashing check engine light in your 2023 Ford Transit Connect Cargo Van signals a potentially severe engine misfire or condition that can damage the catalytic converter if driven. At Larry H.

Flashing conditions often mean the engine is misfiring, burning fuel inefficiently, or running lean/rich—each scenario raises emissions, reduces fuel economy, and accelerates wear. Our dealership offers clear, itemized estimates, OEM parts, and often lower long-term costs compared with independent shops because we avoid unnecessary parts replacement and focus on accurate root-cause fixes. We also offer service financing and periodic service specials to reduce out-of-pocket expense. If you see a flashing light, do not ignore it: contact us or schedule appointment so our team can get your Transit Connect Cargo Van back to safe, efficient operation quickly.
