While the check engine light in Your 2005 Dodge Durango may illuminate for any number of reasons, the flashing is a dead giveaway of the detection of an engine mIS Fire. This is a serious issue that can cause grave harm to Your engine if it's not remedied right away; if You're driving when the light begins flashing, get home or to a mechanic as soon as possible. Occasionally, the failure of certain sensors can emulate an engine mIS Fire, but it's uncommon enough where it's certainly not worth the risk. If You have access to an OBD-II scan tool, You can usually find the particular cylinder(s) that are mIS Firing. Once You know the diagnostic information, You can begin Your troubleshooting from there.

The check engine light on the 2005 dodge durango is a catch all that is designed to alert you to an issue with the vehicle. It gets turned on when the computer in the vehicle detects an error on the vehicle and stores a trouble code. You can read that code with an obd scanner and this will tell you what the issues is. Common issues can include a loose gas cap, the engine misfiring, d***y spark plugs, vacuum leaks, low oil pressure, and nearly anything else. The light can also come on to remind you to get the vehicle serviced if you are nearing a mile stone. The check engine light is not often a major issue, but it should not be ignored either.
