Check Engine Light Flashing
A flashing check engine light on a 2016 Chevrolet Trax is an urgent warning that the engine is misfiring, which can cause catalytic converter damage and unsafe driving conditions.

Our Murray service center prioritizes flashing warnings and can often perform a high-priority inspection the same day.

We also offer transparent estimates, available service financing, and frequent service specials that reduce out-of-pocket expense.

2016 Chevrolet Trax Check Engine Light Reset
Resetting the check engine light on a 2016 Chevrolet Trax is straightforward after the underlying fault is resolved, but a simple reset without repair can mask recurring issues and risk component failure. At Larry H. Miller Chevrolet Murray, we perform a full scan and repair any root cause — whether it’s a faulty sensor, battery issue, or emissions fault — then clear codes and verify the repair using OEM diagnostic tools. Choosing dealership service means access to manufacturer-grade software, genuine replacement parts, and warranty-supported work. Our transparent service approach explains the repair, the parts used, and how a certified repair can save you money over time by preventing repeat failures and protecting vehicle value. We also offer service financing to spread payments and a range of service specials to lower initial costs. To protect your Trax and confirm the light stays off for good, schedule appointment with our certified technicians in Murray.
2016 Chevrolet Trax Check Engine Light Codes
Common codes for the 2016 Chevrolet Trax include P0420 (catalyst system efficiency), P0300 (random/multiple cylinder misfire), P0171/P0174 (system too lean), and P0440 (evaporative emission control system). Ignoring these codes can escalate repair costs: a P0420 left unaddressed may require catalytic converter replacement, which is significantly more expensive than fixing a faulty oxygen sensor; uncorrected misfires (P0300) can ruin an engine or converter; lean conditions (P0171/P0174) reduce fuel efficiency and accelerate wear. At Larry H. Miller Chevrolet Murray we prioritize accurate diagnostics, clear cost estimates, and efficient repairs using OEM parts, protecting you from repeat visits and bigger bills later. Our certified technicians in Murray, UT, combine manufacturer training with local service speed, and we highlight immediate and long-term savings by fixing issues early.
