Check Engine Light Flashing

A flashing check engine light on a 2014 Chevrolet Traverse indicates an active misfire or a condition that could rapidly damage the catalytic converter if driven. That flashing alert demands immediate attention because spark misfires can overheat exhaust components and lead to expensive secondary failures. At Stevinson Chevrolet in CO our technicians prioritize safety and long-term value: we perform a comprehensive scan, identify misfire sources (ignition coils, plugs, fuel delivery, or sensors), and provide a clear repair plan that minimizes repeated visits. We use OEM parts, GM-recommended procedures, and factory tools to restore proper operation and protect emissions systems — all with documented work for warranty purposes. We also offer service financing to address urgent repairs now and pay over time. Before driving farther, contact us to schedule appointment or review current service specials. Fast intervention preserves your Traverse and prevents higher costs down the road.

2014 Chevrolet Traverse Check Engine Light Codes

Common codes for a 2014 Chevrolet Traverse include P0420 (catalyst efficiency), P0300 (random/multiple cylinder misfire), P0171/P0174 (lean condition), and P0135/P0141 (oxygen sensor/heater circuit). Each code carries cost implications if left unresolved: an untreated P0300 can lead to burned valves or a failed catalytic converter; P0420 left unattended may require catalytic system replacement; lean conditions (P0171/P0174) can cause poor fuel economy and damage to engine internals over time. At Stevinson Chevrolet in CO we diagnose code meanings precisely, present transparent estimates, and explain immediate and long-term savings from timely repairs. Because we stock OEM parts and employ GM-certified technicians, repairs are completed correctly the first time, helping you avoid repeated expenses.
