Check Engine Light Flashing

The check engine light flashing in a 2016 Chevrolet SS is a sign of a potential misfire or condition that can damage the catalytic converter if driven. This indicator requires immediate attention: a sustained misfire allows unburned fuel into the exhaust, heating the converter to damaging temperatures. At Larry H. Miller Chevrolet Murray in Murray, UT, our factory-trained technicians perform prioritized, safe diagnostics to identify ignition faults, injector problems, or sensor failures that cause flashing codes. We use OEM parts and manufacturer-recommended procedures to protect performance and emissions components, reducing the chance of expensive catalytic converter repairs. We also communicate transparently about pricing, warranty coverage, and potential long-term savings from prompt repair. Ask about available service specials and our service financing plans so you can get the work done immediately. Don’t risk escalating damage — schedule service online now or call Larry H. Miller Chevrolet Murray for same-day attention and a clear repair plan.

Choosing Larry H. Miller Chevrolet Murray over an independent shop delivers value — you get factory-trained technicians, genuine Chevrolet parts, documented repair history that protects resale value, and warranty assurance for covered repairs.
