Check Engine Light Flashing

A flashing check engine light on a 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 is a sign of an active misfire or a condition that may immediately damage the catalytic converter. That rapid flashing indicates ignition or fuel delivery problems that allow unburned fuel into the exhaust, creating excess heat and potential failure of emissions equipment. If you see a flashing light, stop driving as soon as it’s safe and contact Larry H. Miller Chevrolet Murray in Murray, UT.

We pair quick, accurate diagnostics with OEM parts and factory-trained technicians to restore reliability and protect towing capacity and engine life.

2016 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Check Engine Light Reset

Resetting the check engine light on a 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 is technically simple — a scanner can clear codes — but clearing the light without addressing the underlying fault only masks symptoms and risks long-term damage. At Larry H. Miller Chevrolet Murray, we recommend a full diagnostic prior to any reset. Our technicians use OEM diagnostic tools to identify active and pending codes, advise on necessary repairs, and explain how each action protects your Silverado’s performance and warranty. We emphasize transparency: you’ll receive an itemized estimate and explanation of immediate and long-term savings from doing the job correctly the first time. Choosing our dealership often costs less than independent shops when you factor in correct diagnosis, OEM parts, and warranty-backed repairs. Repairs covered under warranty must be performed at a certified dealership to preserve coverage. To proceed, schedule service and review current service specials before visiting.

2016 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Check Engine Light Codes

Common check engine light codes for a 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 include P0300 (random/multiple misfires), P0420 (catalyst efficiency), P0171 (system too lean), P0456 (evap small leak), and sensor-related codes like P0135 (oxygen sensor heater). Ignoring these codes can escalate costs: misfires can lead to a failed catalytic converter and engine damage, often costing thousands; a persistent lean condition reduces fuel economy and can damage pistons and turbo components; evap leaks increase emissions and may fail inspections. At Larry H. Miller Chevrolet Murray in Murray, UT, we diagnose codes quickly with factory tools, explain the cost to repair versus the cost of deferring service, and use genuine Chevrolet parts to restore function and longevity. Our technicians are certified, our shop offers quick turnaround, and we provide finance options to make timely repairs achievable.
