Check Engine Light Flashing
The check engine light flashing on a 2020 Ford F-250 Super Duty is a sign of a serious misfire or condition that could cause catalytic converter damage if driven. A flashing indication demands immediate attention: stop driving if possible and have the truck inspected right away. At Herb Chambers Ford of Braintree in Braintree, MA, our certified Ford technicians prioritize safety and rapid diagnosis. We use OEM diagnostic tools to capture freeze-frame data, identify misfire cylinders, and determine whether fuel, ignition, or sensor issues are to blame. Immediate diagnosis often prevents secondary damage — for example, a persistent misfire can overheat and crack a catalytic converter, which is far more expensive to replace than treating the root cause. We provide transparent estimates, OEM parts, and service financing options so you can get the repair now and pay over time. Check our current service specials to lower costs, then schedule service online for prompt attention.

Choosing dealership service means access to factory-trained techs, genuine OEM parts, and a clear service history that supports resale value.
