Check Engine Light Flashing

The check engine light flashing is a severe alert: it often indicates active misfires, unburned fuel entering the exhaust, or other conditions that can damage the catalytic converter and engine. For a 2020 Chevrolet Impala, an immediate dealer diagnosis is crucial to prevent escalating repair costs and preserve performance. At Larry H. Miller Casa Chevrolet in Albuquerque, our factory-trained technicians use OEM-grade scanners and inspection procedures to identify misfire causes—ignition coils, spark plugs, fuel injectors, or sensor failures—and provide a clear repair plan. Choosing dealer service means access to genuine Chevrolet parts, certified labor, and warranty protection; any covered repairs must be completed at an authorized dealership to maintain coverage. We also highlight the long-term savings of fixing flashing-light issues quickly: avoiding catalytic converter replacement, improving fuel economy, and reducing the risk of further engine damage.

2020 Chevrolet Impala Check Engine Light Reset

Resetting the check engine light on a 2020 Chevrolet Impala is straightforward, but resetting without addressing the underlying fault only masks a symptom and risks bigger problems later. Our team at Larry H. Miller Casa Chevrolet explains why dealer-performed service is the smart choice: we diagnose and repair the root cause using OEM parts and calibrated tools, then reset the system and verify repairs with a post-service readiness check. This transparent approach protects your vehicle’s longevity and ensures that warranty-covered repairs remain valid—repairs under warranty must be completed at a certified dealership. Dealer service also delivers measurable long-term savings by preventing repeated trips, reducing emissions failures, and maintaining optimal fuel efficiency. We offer service financing to make necessary repairs accessible today and various service specials to lower out-of-pocket cost. To restore proper operation and avoid repeat issues, schedule service with our certified technicians at Larry H. Miller Casa Chevrolet in Albuquerque.

2020 Chevrolet Impala Check Engine Light Codes

Understanding common check engine light codes for a 2020 Chevrolet Impala helps prioritize repairs and costs. Typical codes include P0420 (catalytic converter efficiency), P0300 series (random/multiple misfires), P0171/P0174 (lean fuel condition), and sensor-related codes like P0130–P0167 for oxygen or heater circuit issues. Left unaddressed, these can lead to higher repair bills—P0420 can escalate to catalytic converter replacement, misfires can damage pistons and exhaust systems, and a lean condition can overheat engine components. At Larry H. Miller Casa Chevrolet in Albuquerque, we provide a clear estimate for each scenario and explain the immediate and long-term savings of timely dealer repairs. Our technicians use factory calibration, OEM parts, and a documented repair process so you get reliable results the first time.
