Check Engine Light Flashing

When the check engine light on your 2013 Ford Fiesta flashes, it signals a potentially serious condition—often a misfire that can damage the catalytic converter if driven for long. A flashing light usually means the engine is running outside normal parameters, which can quickly escalate repair costs and threaten safety. At Larry H. Miller Ford Lincoln Draper in Draper, UT, our technicians prioritize flashing-light cases for immediate inspection. We use OEM diagnostic equipment to pinpoint misfires, fuel delivery irregularities, or ignition faults and provide a clear, written estimate before any work begins. Choosing our dealership delivers long-term savings: precise diagnostics prevents unnecessary parts replacement, OEM components ensure correct fit and longevity, and warranty-backed repairs protect future value. We regularly post discounts in our service specials, and service financing is available so you can address urgent issues without delay. If you see a flashing check engine light, don’t drive extensively—contact us or schedule service online for rapid, expert attention.

2013 Ford Fiesta Check Engine Light Codes

Common check engine codes for the 2013 Ford Fiesta include oxygen sensor faults (P0130–P0167), misfire codes (P0300–P0304), and evap system issues (P0440–P0457). Each carries different consequences: untreated oxygen sensor faults reduce fuel economy and increase emissions; misfires can damage the catalytic converter and cause expensive replacements; evap leaks can trigger failed emissions tests and reduce fuel efficiency. At Larry H. Miller Ford Lincoln Draper in Draper, UT, we interpret codes in context—linking sensor readings, freeze-frame data, and test drives—to recommend the most efficient repair. Our certified techs use OEM parts, which fit correctly and last longer than aftermarket alternatives, producing immediate savings through reliable repairs and long-term savings in reduced callbacks and improved MPG. We explain costs, timelines, and warranty coverage up front and often offer better overall value than independent shops by combining diagnostic accuracy, parts availability, and dealership service discounts.
