Check Engine Light Flashing
A flashing check engine light in a 2012 Chevrolet Camaro is an urgent indicator that the engine is misfiring and unburned fuel may be entering the exhaust stream. This condition can quickly damage the catalytic converter and other emissions components, leading to expensive repairs and failed emissions tests. At Larry H. Miller Casa Chevrolet in Albuquerque, NM, we recommend bringing a flashing vehicle in immediately rather than driving long distances. Our factory-trained technicians perform a prioritized inspection to secure the engine, identify misfire causes—such as ignition coils, spark plugs, or fuel system issues—and provide a clear estimate. We use OEM parts and manufacturer procedures to restore performance and protect long-term value. Check for current offers and reduce your cost with our service specials. To minimize downtime, you can schedule service online; our service advisors will coordinate parts and labor, explain warranty implications, and outline financing options so you can get back on the road safely and affordably.
2012 Chevrolet Camaro Check Engine Light Reset
Resetting the check engine light on a 2012 Chevrolet Camaro without diagnosing the root cause provides only a temporary fix and risks masking a developing issue. A proper reset at Larry H. Miller Casa Chevrolet begins with an OEM-level diagnostic scan to capture stored and pending codes, followed by targeted repairs or sensor tests as needed. We explain each code, the recommended repair, and the expected benefits—better fuel economy, restored power, and avoided escalation to costly repairs. Using our dealership ensures transparency: OEM replacement parts, certified technicians, and documented service to protect warranty coverage. We also offer service financing to make repairs more manageable and a range of service specials to reduce out-of-pocket costs.

Common check engine light codes for the 2012 Chevrolet Camaro include P0300 (random/multiple cylinder misfire), P0420 (catalyst system efficiency), P0171/P0174 (lean fuel trim), and O2 sensor faults such as P0133.
