2016 Lamborghini Aventador Check Engine Light Flashing

When the check engine light flashes on a 2016 Lamborghini Aventador it usually indicates an active misfire or severe engine condition that can quickly damage the catalytic converter and other components. Continued driving while the light flashes amplifies heat and stress, risking expensive downstream repairs. Immediate action is essential: stop driving, avoid high RPMs, and arrange tow or dealer transport. At Lamborghini Boston we prioritize flashing-code vehicles — our factory-trained technicians perform rapid, accurate diagnostics with OEM tools, advise on safety measures, and handle urgent repairs under warranty when applicable, providing the fastest path to protect your investment and minimize total ownership cost.

2016 Lamborghini Aventador Check Engine Light Codes

Common codes for a 2016 Lamborghini Aventador include misfire codes (P0300–P0306), catalytic efficiency (P0420), mass air flow or intake faults (P0100–P0104), and oxygen sensor faults (P0130–P0167). Left unaddressed, misfires can cause piston and catalyst damage costing thousands, while a failing catalytic converter is one of the most expensive repairs. Sensor faults may lead to poor performance, reduced MPG, and increased emissions if ignored. Early diagnosis and OEM repairs at Lamborghini Boston reduce the risk of cascading failures and lower long-term expenses, ensuring genuine parts and warranty protection handled by technicians trained specifically on Lamborghini systems.

2016 Lamborghini Aventador Check Engine Light Reset

Resetting the check engine light on a 2016 Lamborghini Aventador requires clearing the stored fault with an OEM-level scan tool after the root cause is repaired; simply disconnecting the battery may clear a code temporarily but does not fix the underlying issue. Our dealership uses manufacturer diagnostics to ensure codes are verified and repairs are complete before reset, which preserves accurate service history and warranty eligibility. Having Lamborghini Boston perform resets offers immediate savings by avoiding repeat repairs and long-term confidence through correct troubleshooting, OEM software updates, and certified workmanship that independent shops cannot always guarantee.
