Check Engine Light Flashing

The check engine light flashing in a 2013 Ford Mustang Boss 302 indicates a potentially severe condition, often an active misfire that risks catalytic converter damage or engine harm if driven without inspection. At Larry H. Miller Ford Mesa in Mesa, AZ, we urge drivers not to ignore a flashing light — pulling over safely and arranging a prompt inspection minimizes repair scope and expense. Our certified Ford technicians use factory diagnostic tools to capture live data, identify misfires, ignition or fuel delivery faults, and make immediate recommendations.

2013 Ford Mustang Boss 302 Check Engine Light Codes

Common codes for the 2013 Ford Mustang Boss 302 often involve O2 sensors, catalytic efficiency, ignition misfire codes (P0300–P0308), and EVAP system faults.
