Engine Light & Battery Service for the 2018 Ford Escape

Check Engine Light Flashing

The check engine light flashing in a 2018 Ford Escape indicates an active misfire or condition that may cause catalytic converter damage if driven. A flashing light signals urgency: stop driving when safe and have the vehicle inspected immediately. At Larry H. Miller Ford Mesa in Mesa, AZ, our certified technicians prioritize flashing-light cases and perform a complete diagnostic scan to isolate ignition faults, fuel system problems, or catalytic converter stress. We explain findings and offer clear, written estimates before any repair, and we use OEM Ford parts to preserve performance and vehicle value. Choosing our service department delivers measurable savings over time. Proper diagnosis prevents repeat visits and costly downstream repairs to the exhaust and emission systems. We also offer service financing so you can address critical repairs now and pay over time. Check our service specials to reduce out-of-pocket costs, and schedule appointment online for priority handling. Your safety and long-term ownership value are our goals; a flashing light should never be postponed.

2018 Ford Escape Check Engine Light Reset

Our technicians document codes, recommend OEM parts, and provide a clear quote so owners understand immediate costs and long-term value. Dealer service includes quality control checks and test drives to confirm the repair, protecting you from recurring faults. Transparency is central: we discuss manufacturer warranties, explain that warranty-covered repairs must be completed at a certified dealership to remain valid, and offer service financing when needed.

2018 Ford Escape Check Engine Light Codes

Common check engine light codes for the 2018 Ford Escape include P0455 (evaporative emission system leak), P0420 (catalyst system efficiency), P0300 (random/multiple misfires), and P0171/P0174 (fuel trim lean conditions). Left unaddressed, these issues can reduce fuel economy, increase emissions, and lead to expensive repairs—an unchecked P0420 can mean catalytic converter replacement, often costing far more than early diagnosis. At Larry H. Miller Ford Mesa we identify code causes rapidly using Ford-specific diagnostic equipment and provide transparent pricing and repair options. Our Mesa, AZ service center offers quick turnaround, OEM parts, and factory-trained technicians who prioritize long-term savings: addressing small issues early prevents major component failure. We encourage owners to schedule service promptly and review available service specials to reduce immediate costs. For warranty-covered work, repairs must be performed at a certified dealership to maintain coverage; we also provide service financing to make repairs manageable today while protecting resale value tomorrow. Book a diagnostic to maintain your Escapes reliability and performance.
