Check Engine Light Flashing

The check engine light flashing on a 2014 Chevrolet Express Cargo 1500 signals an active misfire or a serious engine condition that can cause catalytic converter damage if driven long. A flashing light generally requires immediate attention; continuing to drive risks more expensive repairs and unsafe operation. At Stevinson Chevrolet in Colorado, our factory-trained technicians run a prioritized diagnostic sequence—scanning codes, testing ignition coils and spark plugs, verifying fuel and air delivery, and performing targeted road tests. Choosing Stevinson Chevrolet gives you access to OEM parts, manufacturer diagnostic protocols, and technicians who understand Chevrolet-specific systems. We focus on transparency: we’ll explain what led to the flash, provide clear cost estimates, and advise whether immediate repair is necessary. We also offer service financing so you can address urgent repairs now and pay over time, which reduces the chance of compounding damage and larger bills later. Check for current savings under our service specials, and schedule service online to get quick, certified attention and protect your vehicle’s long-term value.

2014 Chevrolet Express Cargo 1500 Check Engine Light Reset

Resetting the check engine light on a 2014 Chevrolet Express Cargo 1500 may be a temporary fix unless the underlying fault is resolved. While some drivers can clear codes with a scanner, Stevinson Chevrolet recommends a full diagnostic and repair because an unexplained reset can mask recurring faults that degrade performance and efficiency. Our technicians perform a comprehensive inspection using OEM-grade tools to read and interpret Diagnostic Trouble Codes, inspect emissions components, and verify repair integrity after reset. Choosing dealer service ensures warranty protection — any repairs covered under warranty must be done at a certified dealership — and reduces the risk of repeat visits. We also provide detailed service records that preserve resale value, use genuine Chevrolet parts for fit and longevity, and often deliver lower lifetime cost than independent shops by avoiding unnecessary part replacements. For convenience, explore our current service specials and schedule service online to reset correctly and keep your van performing reliably.

At Stevinson Chevrolet in CO, we identify codes quickly, explain repair priorities, and present accurate estimates so you understand immediate and long-term savings. Our certified technicians use OEM parts and Chevrolet diagnostic protocols to avoid trial-and-error repairs that drive up cost. Scheduling service with us often costs less over time because correct repairs prevent repeat failures and protect warranty coverage. We encourage customers to take advantage of our service specials, and to schedule service promptly to avoid escalating repair bills and to keep commercial or personal fleets running reliably.
