Check Engine Light Flashing

The check engine light flashing on a 2011 Acura RL is a sign of a severe misfire or condition that could cause catalytic converter damage, loss of power, or unsafe driving. When you see a flashing MIL (malfunction indicator lamp), do not delay: pull over when safe and bring the vehicle to Coggin Acura Fort Pierce in Fort Pierce, FL. Our factory-trained Acura technicians use OEM diagnostic tools to pinpoint misfires, ignition faults, or fuel delivery problems that cause flashing codes. Addressing a flashing light immediately reduces the risk of costly downstream repairs and preserves engine health—delaying service can multiply repair costs and reduce resale value. We provide a clear estimate, use genuine Acura parts, and offer warranty-backed workmanship so repairs maintain long-term value.
