2018 Land Rover Range Rover Sport Check Engine Light Flashing
A flashing check engine light usually indicates an active misfire that can damage the catalytic converter and other components if driven. Immediate inspection at Park Place Land Rover is critical; our factory-trained technicians use Land Rover-specific diagnostics to identify ignition faults, fuel delivery issues, or sensor failures rapidly. We can safely immobilize the vehicle, offer towing arrangements, and provide an accurate repair plan that minimizes long-term costs.

For warranty claims, repairs performed at our dealership maintain coverage and use OEM parts for reliable, long-lasting results.
2018 Land Rover Range Rover Sport Check Engine Light Reset
Resetting the check engine light with a generic code reader can temporarily clear the warning but may mask underlying problems. At Park Place Land Rover we perform a full diagnostic and confirm root causes before any reset, ensuring repairs are complete and emissions systems function correctly. Using our dealership prevents repeat visits and reduces long-term costs because factory-trained technicians diagnose related faults and update vehicle software when needed. If repairs are covered by warranty, work must be completed at a certified dealership to preserve benefits. We provide an honest service plan, clear estimates, and the OEM parts required for a proper reset and repair.
