Check Engine Light Flashing

A flashing check engine light on your 2016 Ford Transit Van can indicate a severe misfire or an issue that risks catalytic converter damage or engine harm. This condition means the engine management system detects events that could allow unburned fuel into the exhaust, creating heat and potential failure. At Coggin Ford Jacksonville, we treat a flashing light as a priority: our certified technicians perform a rapid diagnostic scan, road test, and detailed inspection of ignition systems, fuel delivery, and emissions components to pinpoint the fault. We also test the battery and charging system because electrical irregularities can cause intermittent misfires or sensor errors that present as a flashing light. Choosing our dealership provides clear advantages — OEM parts, manufacturer-trained technicians, and documented repairs that protect vehicle value and warranty coverage. Ask about our current service specials, available financing, and loyalty benefits. If you see a flashing light, do not ignore it; contact us or schedule service online for fast, expert attention and a clear repair plan.

2016 Ford Transit Van Check Engine Light Reset

Resetting the check engine light on a 2016 Ford Transit Van may be straightforward, but a reset without repair can hide a recurring fault and lead to costly damage down the road. At Coggin Ford Jacksonville, we explain why a proper fix matters: we scan and record all diagnostic trouble codes, correct the root cause with OEM parts if needed, and then clear codes so you have a reliable baseline. Our transparent process includes estimated costs, OEM replacement parts, and technician certification details — repairs under warranty must be completed at a certified dealership to keep coverage intact. Performing a reset at home or at an independent shop may temporarily turn off the light but won’t address underlying issues like failing sensors, wiring faults, or battery problems. We emphasize long-term savings through correct repairs and offer financing so you can take care of issues immediately and pay over time. Before any visit, check our service specials and schedule appointment for prompt service and peace of mind.

2016 Ford Transit Van Check Engine Light Codes

Common check engine light codes for the 2016 Ford Transit Van often point to oxygen sensors (P0420/P013x), mass airflow issues, EVAP leaks (P0455), ignition misfires (P0300-P0306), and sometimes battery/charging system faults that manifest as electrical codes. Ignoring these codes can lead to progressively higher costs: an oxygen sensor left unfixed can reduce fuel economy and stress the catalytic converter, leading to replacements that cost significantly more than the initial repair; misfires can damage pistons or converters; EVAP leaks contribute to failed emissions tests and poor performance. At Coggin Ford Jacksonville in Jacksonville, FL, our service lane is optimized for quick diagnostics and repair. We combine dealership convenience — online scheduling, comfortable waiting areas, and transparent advisors — with technical depth: factory training, OEM parts, and a focus on long-term vehicle health. We encourage drivers to take advantage of service specials and to schedule service promptly. Timely diagnostics save money, preserve vehicle reliability, and protect your investment over time.
