An ignition system misfire has been detected - avoid any quick acceleration or decelleration until the problem has been repaired to avoid damaging the catalytic converter (s)
A person needs to pay attention to their warning lights. If a service engine light is flashing, this means that there is a problem within the engine.
An engine cylinder misfire has been detected
Don't know what year, make or model you have but if you continue to drive that vehicle with the service engine flashing it may do serious damage to the catalytic converter(s).
get the engine serviced.
On a 2002 Ford Expedition : The " check engine " light is the " SERVICE ENGINE SOON " light just to the left of the fuel gauge
If the service engine soon light is flashing on the 1997 Geo Tracker, you might have a sensor that has been activated because your vehicle is due to be serviced. You could also have a sensor that is malfunctioning.
= Service Engine Soon flashing light and Trac Off light on =
You can drive the car but should have the vehicle checked soon as possible. BUT if the service engine soon light is flashing, stop the vehicle when it is safe to do so then shut off the engine immediately. If you continue to drive the vehicle with the service engine soon light flashing you will do catastrophic damage to the catalytic converter(s).
A flashing check engine light is usually a misfire.
From what I read in the manual it is the catalytic converter. A misfire that could damage the cat.
that usually means something is seriously wrong....i would take it to the shop
The check engine light is flashing due to a problem with the emission system. I flashing check engine light usually indicates a random engine misfire.
