Check Engine Light Flashing

The check engine light flashing in a 2017 Ford Focus RS is an urgent warning — it usually means a misfire or severe condition that can damage the catalytic converter, reduce performance, or result in unsafe operation. When you see a flashing light, pull over safely, avoid heavy driving, and contact Coggin Ford Jacksonville immediately.

We also provide OEM parts, factory procedures, and warranty-backed repairs; any warranty-covered work must be completed at a certified dealership to maintain protection. Check our service specials for offers you can use now, and schedule service online to reserve a prioritized slot. Don’t wait — a flashing engine light can escalate into far costlier repairs if not addressed by experienced Ford technicians.
