Check Engine Light Flashing

A flashing check engine light on your 2015 Ford Explorer usually indicates a serious condition such as severe engine misfire, catalytic converter stress, or turbocharger-related issues tied to the vehicle’s twin-turbocharged V6. A flashing light means you should stop driving at the first safe opportunity and have the vehicle inspected immediately; continued driving can damage the catalytic converter and other drivetrain components, driving repair costs far higher. At Larry H. Miller Ford Lincoln Draper in Draper, UT, our factory-trained technicians are experienced with the 3.5L twin-turbo V6 and its specific diagnostic pathways. We prioritize rapid triage: a thorough scan, live-data review, and an estimate outlining immediate actions and longer-term repairs. We often run diagnostic checks quickly — reducing tow times and downtime — and we pair efficient repairs with OEM parts to protect longevity.

2015 Ford Explorer Check Engine Light Reset

Resetting the check engine light on a 2015 Ford Explorer is straightforward for a trained technician but should only follow a confirmed repair. While some drivers clear codes with OBD-II tools, clearing codes without fixing the underlying issue risks recurring failures and missed warranty coverage. At Larry H. Miller Ford Lincoln Draper, we perform a full diagnostic, repair with OEM parts, and then reset and road-test the vehicle to confirm the repair. This process ensures transparency — you receive a clear explanation of the failure, repair options, parts used, and warranty coverage. Our certified technicians document the repair so any future warranty claims are supported. We also highlight immediate and long-term savings: accurate repairs prevent repeat failures and extend component life, saving on fuel and repair costs. To plan service, schedule service online and check our service specials for additional savings.

2015 Ford Explorer Check Engine Light Codes

Common codes for the 2015 Ford Explorer include P0171/P0174 (fuel trim issues), P0420 (catalytic efficiency), P0300–P0306 (misfires), and sensor codes such as P0130–P0167 for oxygen and air-fuel sensors. Each code can signal different repair scopes: a loose gas cap is inexpensive to fix, a faulty O2 sensor or ignition coil is moderate cost, while catalytic or turbocharger damage can be substantially more expensive if left unchecked. At Larry H. Miller Ford Lincoln Draper in Draper, UT, we assess these codes with OEM diagnostics and explain cost implications clearly: fixing a sensor early preserves fuel efficiency and avoids catalytic damage, translating to measurable long-term savings. Our certified techs complete repairs using OEM parts, backed by dealership warranties — repairs under warranty must be performed at a certified dealer to remain valid. We offer service financing, quick turnarounds, and transparent estimates. For convenience and to review current offers, schedule service online or browse our service specials.
