Check Engine Light Flashing

A flashing check engine light in a 2016 BMW ActiveHybrid 5 signals an urgent fault that requires immediate attention — often indicating misfires, catalytic converter risk, or hybrid electrical anomalies that can damage the drivetrain if driven. At Herb Chambers BMW Certified Preowned Medford in Medford, MA, our certified BMW technicians use factory-grade diagnostic tools to identify transient and persistent faults quickly. When you bring your vehicle to us, we perform a thorough code read, live-data analysis, and system integrity checks to isolate the root cause.

2016 BMW ActiveHybrid 5 Check Engine Light Codes

Typical codes we see in Medford include oxygen sensor (O2) faults, misfire (P0300–P0306), catalytic converter efficiency (P0420), and hybrid battery or charging-system alerts. Left unchecked, an O2 sensor fault can reduce fuel economy and damage catalytic converters, increasing repair costs significantly. Misfires can accelerate engine wear and risk catalytic damage. Hybrid-system alerts, if ignored, may lead to reduced regenerative braking performance or full battery replacement—costly outcomes avoided by timely diagnostics.

We often compete with independent shops on price while delivering superior factory-trained expertise and warranty protection.
