CHECK ENGINE LIGHT
Check Engine Light On?
The check engine light is a signal from the vehicle’s engine computer that something is wrong. When your check engine light comes on, it’s usually pointing to a serious problem affecting your car or truck’s fuel, ignition, emission systems, or worse.
Many people think that this dashboard light is one of the most intimidating and frustrating warning signs. That’s because the light indicates that one part or multiple systems in your car or truck is not functioning correctly. Keep in mind that there are different factors that can trigger a check engine light. It can be a faulty gas cap, or probably a misfiring engine.
What Does A Flashing Check Engine Light Indicate?
A flashing check engine light means that your vehicle has a serious issue that could cause severe engine damage. Don’t ignore this light, because it could lead to larger costlier problems later, or probably dangerous situations. Head to E1 Auto Care immediately, so we can run a diagnostic to find the cause of the check engine light.
What If The Check Engine Light Is Steady Rather Than Flashing?
If your check engine light is solid or steady, this means there is an issue in your vehicle, but it’s not yet serious. Even so, your car or truck is still releasing an irregular amount of emissions because of a problem. You should still get the engine checked by a mechanic to avoid expensive engine repair costs. Your car or truck can’t talk, but it knows how to communicate to tell you something is wrong. It’s important to examine the vehicle and perform a car diagnostic test to determine the possible causes of a steady or flashing check engine light. Some of the most common problems that can trigger a check engine light include:
- Faulty, missing, or loose gas cap
- Failing oxygen sensor
- Catalytic converter failure
- Spark plug/ignition coil or spark plug wires issues
- Excessive release of air pollutants or consuming too much fuel
- Refrigerant Cross-Contamination
