Check Engine Light Flashing

When the check engine light is flashing on your 2020 Dodge Durango it typically means a severe misfire or an active condition that could damage the catalytic converter. A flashing light demands immediate attention — continuing to drive risks permanent, expensive damage. At Larry H. Miller Dodge RAM FIAT Tucson our technicians prioritize flashing codes and diagnose the full electrical system, including battery state-of-charge, alternator output, ignition components, and fuel delivery. We combine OEM diagnostics with factory procedures so fixes are accurate the first time. While some shops might only clear codes, our process finds root causes, replacing defective parts with genuine OEM components when required. That approach preserves warranty coverage and vehicle longevity, producing clear cost savings over time. If your check engine light is flashing, do not wait: schedule service online now, review current service specials, or call our service team to reserve priority inspection and repair.

2020 Dodge Durango Check Engine Light Codes

Common diagnostic codes on a 2020 Dodge Durango include P0300-series misfires, P0420 catalytic converter efficiency, P0130 oxygen sensor faults, and battery/charging-related codes that manifest as voltage irregularities. Left unchecked, misfires can overheat and destroy catalytic converters (costing thousands), oxygen sensor failures increase fuel consumption and emissions, and battery/charging faults can cause intermittent drivability issues and failed starts. At Larry H. Miller Dodge RAM FIAT Tucson we map each trouble code to a clear repair plan, provide transparent estimates, and explain how timely battery replacement and proper diagnostics prevent cascading failures. Our technicians are factory-trained on Dodge powertrains and use OEM parts to ensure fitment and longevity. Choosing our dealership often results in lower overall ownership costs thanks to accurate diagnostics, genuine parts, and service financing options so you can get necessary repairs now and pay over time. To protect your Durango and avoid larger bills, schedule service or check our service specials before visiting.

2020 Dodge Durango Check Engine Light Reset

Resetting the check engine light on a 2020 Dodge Durango is a simple step after a proper repair, but clearing codes without addressing the underlying issue invites repeat failures and potential warranty complications. At our Tucson service center we explain why a proper reset follows diagnosis and repair: we clear stored fault codes, perform drive-cycle verification, and confirm the repair with OEM scanners so codes do not return. Dealer-performed resets maintain service records tied to your vehicle, which benefits resale value and warranty documentation. We also honor manufacturer warranties and stress that any warranty-covered repairs must be done at a certified dealership to remain valid. With transparent pricing, OEM parts, and available service financing, the dealership route provides both immediate peace of mind and long-term savings.
