2017 Land Rover Discovery Sport Check Engine Light Flashing
A flashing check engine light on a 2017 Land Rover Discovery Sport typically signals an active misfire that risks catalytic converter damage or immediate drivability loss. This condition can rapidly worsen if you continue driving, increasing repair costs and potential secondary failures. At Park Place Land Rover we recommend stopping driving when safe and arranging prompt inspection—our technicians use manufacturer-level diagnostics to identify misfire sources such as ignition coils, injectors, or fuel system issues. Because a flashing light often indicates imminent component damage, resolving it quickly at a certified dealership reduces long-term expenses and preserves warranty protections; warranty-covered repairs must be performed here to remain valid.
2017 Land Rover Discovery Sport Check Engine Light Reset
Resetting the check engine light on a 2017 Land Rover Discovery Sport can be quick using an OBD-II scanner, but a reset without proper diagnosis only masks the underlying problem. Our dealership performs a full scan, clears historic codes when appropriate, and verifies that the fault is truly resolved through live-data checks and road tests. Bringing your vehicle to Park Place Land Rover ensures the reset is part of a comprehensive repair plan done by factory-trained techs using OEM parts, which often costs less over time than piecemeal fixes at independent shops. If repairs are covered by warranty, they must be completed at a certified dealership to maintain coverage and documented service history.
2017 Land Rover Discovery Sport Check Engine Light Codes
Common check engine codes for the 2017 Land Rover Discovery Sport include oxygen sensor (P013x–P016x), catalytic efficiency (P0420), misfire codes (P0300–P0306), and mass airflow or fuel trim issues (P0100–P017x). Leaving these codes unaddressed can lead to progressive damage: oxygen sensor faults reduce fuel economy and raise emissions; misfires can destroy a catalytic converter; and fuel trim faults can cause drivability problems. Repair costs vary—sensor replacement is relatively affordable, while converter or major fuel-system repairs are more expensive. By diagnosing codes accurately and repairing with OEM parts at Park Place Land Rover, customers realize immediate and long-term savings and retain warranty eligibility when work is done at a certified dealership.
