When you see that your check engine light is flashing, it can be absolutely heartbreaking.
And it can be even more devastating when you have no idea how to repair a flashing check engine light.
But, fear no more.
Innova is here, with the ultimate guide to dealing with a check engine light.
So, to solve your flashing check engine light related queries, just read on!
Let’s assume that you’ve seen the dreaded check engine light flashing.
Maybe you’re wondering why it’s doing that in the first place, so let us fill you in.
The flashing of the check engine light is your vehicles way of informing you that there is an issue with your car.
Specifically with your emission related area of the car.
When you see your check engine light lit up and steady, then it usually means that the issue isn’t an emergency, but you should still get it checked out.
However when you see a flashing check engine light, it means things are quite a bit more serious.
This is usually an indication of a severe engine misfiring, which can cause severe damage to your vehicle that is EXPENSIVE to repair.
So, you’ve got a check engine light that’s flashing in your car. How do you go about fixing it?

“Quality scanners and easy to use. Not your typical knickknack scanner. Shows the monitors all on one page, codes when they’re pending, stored or permanent, tells you what type of computer the car has and lastly; how long the check engine light was on. In other words, this is works well and is worth your buck.”
