2025 Land Rover Defender Check Engine Light Flashing
A flashing check engine light often indicates an active misfire or severe engine issue that can damage the catalytic converter if driven. A flashing warning is more urgent than a steady light: it means unburned fuel may be entering the exhaust, raising temperatures and increasing repair complexity and cost. Stop driving when it is safe to do so and have the vehicle towed to a certified service center. At Park Place Land Rover our technicians use OEM diagnostics to pinpoint the cause quickly, limit collateral damage, and help contain costs. Immediate dealership attention protects your vehicle, maintains warranty eligibility, and can prevent significantly higher long-term repair bills.
2025 Land Rover Defender Check Engine Light Reset
Resetting the check engine light without addressing the underlying fault provides only a temporary silence and can mask issues that grow more expensive. Many owners attempt an on-off reset using a scan tool or battery disconnect, but codes and readiness monitors may remain or recur. Getting service at Park Place Land Rover ensures the root cause is diagnosed by factory-trained technicians with OEM tools and software. We deliver accurate repairs that restore system readiness and support warranty claims. Choosing our dealership often costs less than independent shops in the long run by avoiding repeat repairs, ensuring proper programming, and preserving warranty-covered work that must be performed at a certified dealer.
2025 Land Rover Defender Check Engine Light Codes
Common codes for this Defender include oxygen sensor faults, misfire codes, EVAP leaks, and catalytic converter efficiency alerts. Ignoring oxygen sensor faults can reduce fuel economy and cost $200–$800 to replace later; unresolved misfires risk catalytic converter failure, which can exceed $2,000. EVAP leaks may be inexpensive to fix if found early but can trigger emissions test failure. Prompt diagnosis at Park Place Land Rover identifies the code, the likely cause, and the repair cost. Our factory-trained technicians use OEM parts to correct problems right the first time, offering immediate savings and lowering the chance of costly, long-term repairs while protecting warranty coverage.
