Check Engine Light Flashing

The moment a check engine light starts flashing in your 2024 Subaru BRZ, treat it as an urgent warning rather than a routine alert. A flashing light typically indicates a severe misfire that can damage the catalytic converter and lead to reduced horsepower, higher emissions, and expensive downstream repairs. At Mike Shaw Subaru Greeley in Greeley, CO, our technicians prioritize flashing light diagnostics with immediate electrical and engine checks, including battery and charging system tests, because a weak battery or poor connection can exacerbate sensor errors. Choosing our dealership ensures OEM-grade scanners and manufacturer procedures are used, minimizing diagnostic time and preventing incorrect repairs that cost more over time. We offer transparent estimates, certified technicians, and genuine parts — plus service financing so you can address critical issues now and pay later. Check our current service specials for priority pricing and schedule service online to get same-day attention when available.

2024 Subaru BRZ Check Engine Light Codes

Understanding common check engine light codes for a 2024 Subaru BRZ helps owners act quickly to protect performance and efficiency. Typical codes include misfire (P0300–P0304), oxygen sensor (P0130–P0167), EVAP system faults (P0440–P0455), and catalytic converter efficiency (P0420). Left unresolved, misfires can ruin the catalytic converter and lead to five-figure repairs, oxygen sensor failures increase fuel consumption and emissions, and EVAP faults can trigger failed inspections. At Mike Shaw Subaru Greeley, our factory-trained technicians use Subaru-specific diagnostics to pinpoint root causes — whether it's a faulty sensor, a need for an OEM replacement part, or an electrical/battery problem affecting readings. We provide accurate cost estimates, highlight immediate and long-term savings of proper repairs, and keep warranty requirements in mind: any repairs covered under warranty must be completed at a certified dealership.
