Check Engine Light Flashing

A flashing check engine light on a 2024 Acura MDX usually indicates a serious misfire that can damage the catalytic converter and reduce engine performance. When the light flashes, stop driving if safe, minimize load, and have the vehicle towed to our Richmond service center if necessary. At Crown Acura Richmond we prioritize immediate diagnosis: our technicians perform a rapid scan to identify misfires, ignition or fuel delivery faults, and secondary damage. We explain the implications clearly—repairing ignition coils, spark plugs, or fuel injectors promptly avoids catalytic converter failure, which can be substantially more expensive. Take advantage of our service specials and ask about service financing so urgent repairs can be started without delay. For safety and to protect your MDX’s long-term value, schedule appointment online or contact our service team at Crown Acura Richmond for immediate guidance and transparent estimates.

2024 Acura MDX Check Engine Light Reset

Resetting the check engine light on a 2024 Acura MDX is quick, but clearing the code without fixing the root cause is a short-term fix that can mask underlying damage. At Crown Acura Richmond we advise a full diagnostic scan before any reset so we can address fuel, ignition, or emissions faults properly. Our certified Acura technicians use OEM diagnostic procedures and parts, ensuring resets are only performed after verified repairs—this preserves warranties and avoids repeat visits. We provide written estimates, document prior work, and offer factory parts for lasting performance. Customers regularly find that dealership service delivers better immediate and long-term savings compared to temporary fixes elsewhere. We also provide service financing options to help manage cost and maintain vehicle health. Check our current service specials and schedule service online for efficient, transparent care.
