Check Engine Light Flashing

A flashing check engine light on a 2018 Ford Transit Connect is a warning of an active misfire or severe condition that can quickly damage the catalytic converter and other drivetrain components. When the lamp flashes you should stop driving as soon as it is safe; continuing to run the engine under misfire conditions increases heat and can lead to costly downstream failures. At Larry H. Miller Ford Lincoln Draper in Draper, UT, our technicians prioritize flashing-light cases for immediate diagnosis and mitigation. We inspect ignition coils, spark plugs, fuel delivery, and engine compression to find the root cause, using OEM replacement parts to restore optimal operation. We also explain repair options, expected costs, and how timely repairs save you money over time by avoiding catalytic converter replacement or secondary engine damage.

2018 Ford Transit Connect Check Engine Light Reset

Resetting the check engine light on a 2018 Ford Transit Connect without addressing the underlying issue can mask a problem and lead to repeated failure or system damage. Resetting should follow a confirmed repair, and that’s where our dealership adds real value: factory-trained technicians perform a full diagnostic, fix the cause with OEM parts, and clear codes with proper verification. We document repairs and maintain service records that protect warranty rights; remember, warranty-covered repairs must be done at a certified dealership. Choosing dealer service also provides transparency—detailed estimates, genuine parts, and service financing when you need it. By using dealer-grade diagnostics we avoid costly trial-and-error fixes and ensure long-term reliability.

2018 Ford Transit Connect Check Engine Light Codes

At Larry H. Miller Ford Lincoln Draper in Draper, UT, we diagnose each code with a combination of live-data scanning and hands-on testing to determine the most cost-effective repair path. Our team explains immediate costs and long-term savings of prompt repairs, uses OEM parts to protect performance and resale value, and provides clear estimates up front.
