Check Engine Light Flashing

The check engine light flashing on a 2026 Subaru BRZ signals a potentially serious misfire or abnormal condition that can damage the catalytic converter and other components if driven. A flashing indicator means the engine control unit is detecting combustion issues that may lead to excessive heat, and continuing to drive risks greater repair costs. At Mike Shaw Subaru Greeley in Greeley, CO, our factory-trained technicians prioritize immediate assessment to prevent compounding damage. We begin with a thorough scan of engine codes, inspect ignition components, fuel delivery, and battery/charging health—battery-related voltage drops can exacerbate misfires—then provide a clear plan and cost estimate. Ask about our current service specials and take advantage of service financing if you need repairs now and want flexible payment. For urgent attention, schedule service online and let our certified team protect your BRZ’s performance and longevity.
