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. Beyond repair, our process focuses on transparency: you receive a clear estimate, options for OEM parts, and explanations of how small fixes now avoid higher downstream costs. We also highlight available service specials and can discuss service financing so necessary repairs are affordable.

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. Ignoring an O2 or EVAP code can increase emissions and fuel consumption; ignoring misfire codes can damage the catalytic converter — a much more costly repair. At Larry H. Miller Ford Mesa we diagnose and explain the cost implications of each code: simple sensor replacements or EVAP repairs are generally lower cost and quick to resolve, while catalytic or engine repairs carry higher parts and labor costs if delayed. Our Mesa service center emphasizes preventative care, using OEM parts and documented procedures to restore performance and protect resale value. We also promote immediate and long-term savings by fixing issues early, and we honor warranty terms when applicable.
