2021 Land Rover Discovery Check Engine Light Flashing

A flashing check engine light on a 2021 Land Rover Discovery usually signals a severe condition such as an active engine misfire. Continued driving with a flashing light can allow unburned fuel to reach and overheat the catalytic converter, leading to costly failure. If the light flashes, reduce speed, avoid heavy acceleration, and drive directly to Park Place Land Rover or pull over safely and arrange towing. Our technicians will perform an immediate diagnostic, identify ignition, fuel, or sensor faults, and recommend repairs. Acting quickly protects critical emissions equipment and avoids larger bills. Warranty-covered fixes must be done at a certified dealership—our factory-trained techs and OEM parts preserve coverage and long-term value.

2021 Land Rover Discovery Check Engine Light Codes

Common codes for the 2021 Land Rover Discovery include P0300 (random/multiple misfires), P0420 (catalyst system efficiency low), P0171/P0174 (system too lean), P0442 (EVAP small leak), and oxygen sensor faults. Ignoring these codes can reduce fuel economy, increase emissions, and lead to secondary damage—especially catalytic converter failure, which can cost $1,000–$3,000 or more to replace. Simple fixes like a new gas cap ($20–60) or oxygen sensor replacement ($150–400) are far less expensive when addressed early. At Park Place Land Rover we diagnose the root cause with OEM tools, avoiding unnecessary parts swaps and delivering immediate and long-term savings while maintaining warranty eligibility for covered repairs.

2021 Land Rover Discovery Check Engine Light Reset

Resetting the check engine light on a 2021 Land Rover Discovery is done with a scan tool to clear codes, but clearing without repairing the underlying issue only masks problems and risks further damage. Park Place Land Rover recommends a full diagnostic before any reset. Our technicians read and interpret fault codes, perform repairs with genuine parts, and ensure the system is repaired before clearing codes—preserving vehicle health and warranty coverage. Choosing dealership service often costs less over time because precise diagnostics prevent repeat visits and unnecessary parts. For warranty-covered repairs, work must be completed at a certified dealership to remain valid; our factory-trained staff handles these with efficiency and transparency.
