2017 Land Rover Discovery Check Engine Light Flashing
A flashing check engine light on a 2017 Land Rover Discovery usually signals an active misfire or severe combustion problem that can damage the catalytic converter if driven. Immediate cessation of high-load driving is recommended; in many cases you should stop driving and have the vehicle towed to a certified facility. At Park Place Land Rover we perform an expedited inspection to identify misfire causes — ignition, fuel delivery, or mechanical faults — and isolate affected cylinders. Addressing a flashing light promptly reduces repair costs and prevents secondary damage. Our factory-trained technicians use OEM parts and manufacturer procedures to restore safe operation while protecting warranty and long-term ownership value.
2017 Land Rover Discovery Check Engine Light Reset
Resetting the check engine light on a 2017 Land Rover Discovery can be done by clearing codes with an OBD-II tool or after a successful repair, but resetting without fixing the root cause can mask problems and lead to worse damage. Park Place Land Rover includes proper resets as part of our repair process so codes do not return and systems are tested to confirm the fault is resolved. Choosing our dealership provides precise diagnostics, documented repairs required for warranty coverage, and avoidance of repeat visits common with resets done elsewhere. This approach often saves money immediately and over the vehicle’s life by preventing unresolved issues from escalating.

Repair costs range from inexpensive sensor or seal replacements to higher-cost catalytic or mechanical repairs. Park Place Land Rover’s certified diagnostics pinpoint the exact code and offer transparent cost estimates, helping you avoid compounding expenses and preserving warranty protections by performing repairs at a manufacturer-authorized dealership.
