Check Engine Light Flashing

The moment a check engine light is flashing on your 2020 Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class it indicates a severe misfire or condition that could cause catalytic converter damage or immediate drivability issues. In Arlington, TX, Park Place Motorcars Arlington advises against continued driving; instead, bring the vehicle in so our factory-trained technicians can isolate the fault, prevent further component damage, and restore safe operation. Flashing lights can stem from ignition system failures, fuel delivery anomalies, or turbocharger-related faults on turbocharged engines. Our approach is to perform a prioritized diagnostic: an initial on-vehicle scan, live-data review, and targeted tests to confirm whether the issue is sensor-level or mechanical. Using OEM parts and manufacturer-approved procedures minimizes comebacks and produces long-term savings compared with piecemeal repairs. We also offer service financing and will clearly outline warranty coverage—remember, warranty repairs must be completed at a certified dealership.
