Check Engine Light Flashing

When the check engine light is flashing in your 2022 Chevrolet Spark it's a clear sign of an active misfire or other condition that can damage the catalytic converter if left unchecked. Driving long distances with a flashing light increases the risk of engine damage and higher repair bills. At Larry H. Miller Casa Chevrolet in Albuquerque we recommend stopping driving when safe and bringing your vehicle in immediately so our certified technicians can perform a priority diagnostic. A rapid, accurate diagnosis not only protects your engine and emissions system but also minimizes downtime—our factory-trained technicians use OEM parts and calibrated equipment to resolve the root cause quickly. We often provide more value than independent shops because our precise diagnostics reduce repeat labor and prevent escalation of issues, creating immediate and long-term savings for you. Ask about our service financing to take care of the repair now and pay over time. To get help fast, schedule service now and check our current service specials for additional savings.

2022 Chevrolet Spark Check Engine Light Codes

Common diagnostic trouble codes for the 2022 Chevrolet Spark include P0420 (catalytic converter efficiency), P0171/P0174 (system too lean), P0300 (random/multiple cylinder misfire), and oxygen sensor codes like P0135. Ignoring these codes can escalate costs: a loose gas cap is inexpensive to fix and prevents emissions failures, but an unresolved P0420 can mean catalytic converter replacement which is costly and avoidable with timely service. At Larry H. Miller Casa Chevrolet in Albuquerque our technicians explain the code, show the data, and provide transparent estimates so you can make informed decisions. Using OEM parts and factory repair procedures preserves vehicle value and warranty coverage—repairs under warranty must be performed at a certified dealership. Our service experience emphasizes speed, clarity, and long-term value; we frequently save customers money by fixing the true cause rather than applying temporary repairs. To prioritize reliability and savings, schedule appointment and review our service specials before you visit.
