A flashing check engine light on your 2026 Jeep Compass usually indicates a severe condition such as a misfire that can damage the catalytic converter if you continue driving. This is why immediate attention at Bill Estes Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM is critical: our factory-trained technicians will perform a prioritized inspection to protect your engine and emissions system. A rapid inspection often includes a full scan of engine codes, cylinder balance checks, fuel and ignition system tests, and a quick battery and charging system evaluation because electrical issues can mimic or trigger engine faults. We explain findings in plain language, provide a clear estimate, and outline both immediate repairs and maintenance steps that extend the life of your Compass. We also discuss the long-term savings of fixing problems early — preventing costly downstream repairs — and note that warranty-covered repairs must be completed at a certified dealership.

At Bill Estes Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM, we reset codes only after performing the proper diagnostic and repairs, ensuring the light does not return and that your vehicle remains protected under manufacturer guidelines.
