Check Engine Light Flashing

The check engine light flashing on a 2024 Honda Civic signals an active misfire or a condition that could damage the catalytic converter. A flashing lamp usually means immediate attention is required: continued driving risks expensive downstream repairs and reduced fuel efficiency. At Hare Honda in Indiana, our factory-trained technicians respond quickly with Honda-approved diagnostic procedures. We prioritize safety and long-term value — diagnosing the root cause, recommending OEM replacements when needed, and explaining the cost vs. benefit of repairs.

2024 Honda Civic Check Engine Light Reset

Resetting the check engine light on a 2024 Honda Civic can be simple in some cases but misleading in others. While clearing codes with a generic scanner may turn the lamp off temporarily, it does not address the underlying issue — and the light often returns. At Hare Honda, we use OEM-level diagnostics to identify root causes before any reset, ensuring repairs are done correctly and covered by appropriate warranties. Our transparent process explains whether a reset is safe or if a repair is required, and we document communications and costs so you understand immediate and long-term savings. Using OEM parts and certified technicians minimizes the risk of repeat failures and preserves your Civic’s performance and resale value. If warranty work is applicable, repairs must be performed at a certified dealership to maintain coverage — and our team will handle that. For a thorough assessment, schedule appointment online and review current service specials to maximize value.

2024 Honda Civic Check Engine Light Codes

Common check engine light codes for the 2024 Honda Civic include P0171/P0174 (lean condition), P0300 (random/multiple misfire), P0420 (catalyst system efficiency low), and P0455 (evaporative emission system leak). Ignoring these codes can lead to progressively higher costs: a lean condition can damage pistons or catalytic converters, misfires increase emissions and reduce fuel economy, and EVAP leaks can fail emissions tests. At Hare Honda in Indiana we provide clear cost estimates and repair timelines; our expert diagnostics can often prevent small problems from escalating into major repairs. Choosing dealership service often costs less than independent shops overall, because accurate diagnostics and OEM parts reduce repeat visits and improve longevity — translating into immediate savings (faster fixes, precise parts) and long-term savings (better mpg, fewer replacements). We honor warranties and recommend certified repairs to protect coverage. To protect your Civic and wallet, schedule service with Hare Honda and check our service specials for added value.
