Check Engine Light Flashing
The check engine light flashing on a 2013 Honda Fit is an urgent warning that the engine may be misfiring, which can allow unburned fuel into the exhaust and damage the catalytic converter. If you see a flashing light, pull over safely and limit driving; continuing to run the engine may increase repair costs substantially. At Coggin Honda Jacksonville we treat flashing MILs as a priority: our certified Honda technicians will perform a rapid but thorough diagnosis to isolate ignition faults, fuel delivery issues, or sensor failures. A timely visit can prevent cascading damage and save you money in the long run by avoiding expensive catalytic converter replacements or internal engine repairs. We recommend you schedule service immediately; our service advisors will explain the diagnosis, outline OEM repair options, and review available service specials and service financing so you can get safe, reliable repairs without delay. Trust Coggin Honda Jacksonville for fast turnarounds, factory training, and transparent pricing that prioritizes your Fit s longevity and safety.
2013 Honda Fit Check Engine Light Reset
Resetting a check engine light on a 2013 Honda Fit can be a temporary step after clearing a minor code, but it should not replace a proper diagnosis. Dealers often see vehicles returned with the same light on after an improper reset by a generic scanner. At Coggin Honda Jacksonville we use OEM-grade diagnostics to read permanent and pending codes, confirm the root cause, and advise whether a reset is appropriate. We emphasize transparency: if a reset is part of routine maintenance we ll document the cause and advise on steps to avoid recurrence; if a repair is required, we ll provide an estimate and explain immediate and long-term savings from using OEM parts and certified technicians. Warranties require dealer-performed repairs to remain valid, and we stand behind our workmanship. You can schedule appointment online, review current service specials, and ask about service financing to make immediate repair decisions more manageable.
2013 Honda Fit Check Engine Light Codes
Common check engine light codes for a 2013 Honda Fit include P0420 (catalyst system efficiency), P0171 (system too lean), P0300 (random/multiple misfires), and P0455 (large EVAP leak). Left unattended, these issues can escalate: untreated misfires cause engine wear and expensive repairs, EVAP leaks can lead to failed emissions tests and poor fuel economy, and catalytic converter failure can cost over $1,000 to replace. Coggin Honda Jacksonville in Jacksonville, FL, offers accurate diagnostics, transparent estimates, and OEM parts to keep repair costs down over the vehicle s life. Our technicians explain the cost-benefit of timely repairs—fixing a sensor early often prevents far costlier component failures.
