Check Engine Light Flashing

The check engine light flashing on a 2019 Ford Taurus signals a severe misfire or condition that could damage the catalytic converter or drivetrain. A flashing lamp often means unburned fuel is entering the exhaust stream; left unchecked, this can overheat and destroy emission components, balloon repair costs, and leave you stranded. At Larry H.

We begin with a targeted scan to capture live data, then inspect ignition, fuel, and exhaust systems to find the root cause. Using OEM parts and manufacturer procedures, we restore performance and protect long-term value. We also offer transparent estimates, documented repairs, and warranty coverage when applicable — warranty work must be completed at a certified dealership to remain valid. Check current service specials to reduce upfront cost, and use our easy online portal to schedule service. If your check engine light is flashing, bring your 2019 Ford Taurus to our Draper service center immediately for priority attention and reliable repairs.

2019 Ford Taurus Check Engine Light Reset

2019 Ford Taurus Check Engine Light Codes

Common check engine light codes for the 2019 Ford Taurus include P0420 (catalyst system efficiency), P0300 (random/multiple misfires), P0171/P0174 (fuel trim lean), and various oxygen sensor or evaporative system codes. Each code has cost implications: leaving a P0420 untreated can lead to catalytic converter failure, a repair that is significantly more expensive than early detection; misfires (P0300) left unaddressed can damage pistons or catalytic components; a persistent lean condition harms fuel economy and engine life. At Larry H. Miller Ford Lincoln Draper in Draper, UT, our team identifies codes quickly, explains the associated risks and repair costs, and helps you choose cost-effective solutions that protect resale value and fuel efficiency. We emphasize convenience — express check-in, OEM parts, certified technicians, and documented warranty repairs — along with available service specials to lower initial expense.
