What is the first thing to check when the check engine light comes on in a 2017 Lamborghini Aventador?
- Confirm safety first: look for warning lights that indicate overheating or low oil; stop driving if severe.
- Check the gas cap for a secure fit—an unsecured cap can trigger an emissions code.
- Note symptoms: reduced power, strange noises, or a flashing light—these change urgency.
- Record any recent fuel or maintenance events and mileage to help diagnostics.
- Bring the vehicle to Lamborghini Boston for a proper scan; warranty-covered repairs must be completed at a certified dealership.
How long does a check engine light service take?
- Initial diagnostic scan and code read typically take 30–60 minutes with factory-grade equipment.
- Simple fixes (gas cap, sensor replacement) can often be completed the same day.
- Complex repairs—ignition, fuel, or catalytic system—may require parts ordering and 1–3 days.
- Our factory-trained technicians provide accurate time estimates and prioritize immediate and long-term savings through correct repairs.
- Warranty repairs must be done at a certified dealership to preserve coverage and ensure the highest-quality outcome.

2017 Lamborghini Aventador Check Engine Light Reset
Resetting a check engine light on a 2017 Lamborghini Aventador can be done with a professional OBD-II scan tool or by addressing the root cause so the ECU clears the code. Simple resets—like clearing codes after replacing a failed sensor—require the proper factory-level scanner to ensure all modules are synchronized. A quick battery disconnect may clear a code temporarily but won’t diagnose the underlying issue; this can mask problems and risk voiding warranty coverage. Bring your Aventador to Lamborghini Boston so factory-trained technicians can reset codes after a full diagnostic, perform required repairs with genuine parts, and ensure long-term savings and warranty compliance.
2017 Lamborghini Aventador Check Engine Light Flashing
A flashing check engine light on a 2017 Lamborghini Aventador is a sign of active, severe misfire or another condition that can rapidly damage the catalytic converter and engine. When the light flashes, reduce speed and avoid hard acceleration; continued driving can cause expensive secondary damage. Immediate inspection at Lamborghini Boston is essential—our team will perform a prioritized diagnostic, identify ignition or fuel system faults, and recommend repairs using manufacturer parts. Acting quickly with a certified dealership not only protects safety and engine integrity but also preserves warranty coverage and delivers better long-term cost outcomes compared with delaying or using unverified repairs.
2017 Lamborghini Aventador Check Engine Light Codes
Common codes for a 2017 Lamborghini Aventador include misfire codes (P0300–P0308), oxygen sensor faults (P0135), catalytic efficiency (P0420), fuel trim/lean codes (P0171), and EVAP system leaks (P0440). Ignoring these can escalate costs: a bad O2 sensor often runs $300–$700 to replace, misfire repairs (coils, plugs) range from a few hundred to over $1,000, and a failed catalytic converter can reach $2,000–$6,000 or more. Prompt dealer diagnosis prevents collateral damage and saves money long term. Lamborghini Boston uses factory diagnostics to pinpoint root causes, reducing unnecessary parts replacement and ensuring repairs meet warranty requirements.
