Check Engine Light Flashing
A flashing check engine light on a 2016 Ford Focus usually indicates a misfire that can damage the catalytic converter and reduce engine reliability. Immediate attention from trained technicians is critical to prevent cascading failures that become far more expensive over time. At Larry H. Miller Ford Lincoln Draper in Draper, UT, our factory-trained team inspects ignition, fuel, and emission systems using OEM tools to identify the root cause. We provide a clear estimate, explain potential long-term savings from prompt repair, and recommend OEM parts to protect performance and resale value. Honest diagnostics minimize unnecessary parts replacement and help preserve your warranty; remember, warranty-covered repairs must be performed at a certified dealership. Ask about our current service specials and financing so you can address urgent needs now and pay over time.

2016 Ford Focus Check Engine Light Codes
Common codes for the 2016 Ford Focus include P0420 (catalyst efficiency), P0300 (random misfire), P0171 (system too lean), and P0455 (large EVAP leak). Ignoring these codes risks escalating costs: an unresolved P0420 can lead to a catalytic converter replacement that may exceed $1,000, repeated misfires (P0300) can destroy pistons or the converter, and persistent lean conditions reduce fuel economy and accelerate engine wear. At Larry H. Miller Ford Lincoln Draper, Draper, UT, our certified technicians use OEM diagnostic equipment to translate codes into precise repairs and help you avoid long-term expenses. We focus on transparent estimates, offer factory parts, and highlight immediate versus lifecycle savings so you can make informed choices.

2016 Ford Focus Check Engine Light Reset
Resetting the check engine light on a 2016 Ford Focus with a scanner clears the code but does not fix the underlying issue.

That purposeful approach protects your warranty and prevents costly repeat visits. We pride ourselves on transparent communication, providing a detailed explanation of required repairs, repair timelines, and warranty coverage.
