Check Engine Light Flashing

2024 Ford Mustang Check Engine Light Reset

Resetting the check engine light on a 2024 Ford Mustang may clear the warning temporarily, but it does not fix underlying faults. At Larry H. Miller Ford Lincoln Draper, we diagnose the root cause before any reset to ensure repairs are permanent and factory-approved. Our team explains why a reset alone can hide intermittent issues that lead to bigger failures, and we document repairs to preserve warranty rights—repairs covered by warranty must be performed at certified dealerships. We prioritize transparency: you receive itemized estimates, OEM parts, and the option of service financing so immediate repairs are manageable. Choosing dealership service often means lower lifecycle costs due to correct repairs and OEM components. For a reliable outcome and peace of mind, schedule appointment online and check current service specials before your visit.

2024 Ford Mustang Check Engine Light Codes

Common codes for a 2024 Ford Mustang include P0300 (random/multiple misfires), P0420 (catalyst system efficiency), P0171/P0174 (fuel trim lean conditions), and oxygen sensor faults. In Draper, Larry H. Miller Ford Lincoln Draper evaluates each code with OEM diagnostic tools to determine the exact repair and cost implications. For example, untreated misfires (P0300) can ruin a catalytic converter—repairing a converter is far more expensive than addressing ignition components early. A P0420 left unaddressed can cause failed emissions tests and poor performance. By diagnosing early at our dealership, customers often pay less overall than pursuing repeated, incorrect fixes; we emphasize long-term savings through correct OEM repairs, clear estimates, and warranty protection.
