When the check engine light is flashing on a 2017 Dodge Challenger it indicates an active, potentially damaging condition such as a misfire that can harm the catalytic converter or create unsafe running. This is not the time to delay: prompt diagnosis prevents escalation to costly repairs. At Larry H. Miller Chrysler Dodge Ram FIAT Denver in Denver, CO, our certified technicians prioritize flashing-light cases, quickly testing ignition components, fuel delivery, and the charging system—including battery voltage and alternator output—because low or irregular voltage often contributes to misfires and erratic sensor readings. We’ll explain findings clearly, provide OEM part options, and outline immediate and long-term benefits of repair—fewer breakdowns, better fuel economy, and preserved resale value. Take advantage of current service specials and ask about service financing to manage cost. For urgent concerns, schedule service online or call the service center for same-day attention.
