Check Engine Light Flashing

The check engine light flashing on a 2020 Subaru BRZ indicates an active misfire or another condition that can cause immediate engine or catalytic converter damage. When the lamp flashes, the engine control module is warning you that unburned fuel is entering the exhaust, which quickly overheats and can destroy the catalytic converter — a repair that can cost well over a thousand dollars if delayed. At Mike Shaw Subaru Greeley in Greeley, CO, our priority is safety and damage prevention: stop driving if the car behaves poorly, and bring it in right away so our factory-trained technicians can perform a time-sensitive diagnosis. We use Subaru OEM parts and diagnostics to identify misfires, ignition coil failures, or fuel delivery problems, then provide clear repair estimates and warranty options. Take advantage of our service financing to address urgent repairs immediately, or view available service specials. To protect your BRZ and avoid costly downstream repairs, schedule service online now — quick turnarounds and certified care keep you safe and on the road.

2020 Subaru BRZ Check Engine Light Reset

Resetting the check engine light on a 2020 Subaru BRZ may be straightforward, but it's not a substitute for a proper repair. A reset clears the stored trouble codes and may temporarily silence the light, but if the underlying fault remains the light will return and the vehicle could accumulate additional damage or fail emissions tests. At Mike Shaw Subaru Greeley we perform a complete diagnostic scan, record freeze-frame data, and recommend genuine Subaru parts and proven repair procedures so the issue is resolved permanently. Our certified technicians document repairs and, where applicable, process warranty claims — repairs covered under warranty must be completed at a certified dealership to preserve coverage. We also provide transparent pricing and long-term cost savings by preventing recurring failures. Before resetting, we’ll explain the reason for the code, estimated costs, and expected outcomes. Take advantage of service financing to complete necessary work now, or check our current service specials. When you’re ready, schedule appointment for a thorough inspection and reliable reset performed the right way.

2020 Subaru BRZ Check Engine Light Codes

Common check engine light codes we see on the 2020 Subaru BRZ in Greeley include misfire codes (P0300–P0312), oxygen sensor or catalytic efficiency codes (P0130–P0430), and EVAP system faults (P0440–P0455). A misfire left unaddressed risks engine component damage and a failing catalytic converter. Oxygen sensor or catalytic converter issues will reduce fuel economy and may lead to failed emissions tests; catalytic replacement is costly compared to early sensor or exhaust repairs. EVAP leaks often stem from a loose cap or small hose failure and are inexpensive to fix if caught early. At Mike Shaw Subaru Greeley we diagnose codes with Subaru-specific scanners, explain repair priorities, and provide cost-effective, OEM-based solutions that reduce lifetime ownership costs. Our service advisors present immediate repair options and long-term maintenance plans, and we back work with factory-trained technicians and genuine parts to protect your BRZ.
