Check Engine Light Flashing

The check engine light flashing in a 2010 Ford Shelby GT500 is a red flag indicating active and potentially severe engine misfires that can damage catalytic converters and reduce engine life. When you see a flashing light, stop driving as soon as it’s safe and have the vehicle inspected immediately at Larry H. Miller Ford Lincoln Draper in Draper, UT. Our certified technicians use factory-grade diagnostic tools to capture real-time misfire data, assess ignition systems, fuel delivery, and forced-induction components like the GT500’s supercharger. Early intervention limits repair scope: replacing a plug or coil is far less costly than repairing a damaged catalytic converter or engine internals. We provide transparent estimates, OEM parts, and warranty-backed repairs; any warranty-covered work is performed here to maintain coverage. Check our current service specials before you visit, and if you need flexibility, we offer service financing so you can repair now and pay over time.
