Why Your Check Engine Light Might Come On
There are lots of reasons a check engine light could come on. We use software to find the issue, as usually, the light means there's a code that we can reference from your vehicle to figure out the issue by using an OBD scanner and doing a full vehicle inspection.
Some of the common reasons a check engine light might come on include:
- Faulty Gas Cap: A loose, damaged, or missing gas cap can trigger the check engine light. Ensure your gas cap is securely tightened.
- Oxygen Sensor Issues: A malfunctioning oxygen sensor can lead to the light coming on. Replacing the sensor may be necessary.
- Catalytic Converter Problems: A failing catalytic converter can trigger the warning. Professional inspection and replacement may be needed.
- Mass Airflow Sensor (MAF) Malfunction: Issues with the MAF sensor can cause the check engine light to illuminate. Consider checking or replacing the MAF sensor.
- Spark Plug or Ignition Coil Troubles: Worn spark plugs or faulty ignition coils can also be responsible.
You might also find that sometimes it goes off if your engine oil levels have gotten too low or something of that nature. If there's a severe issue, we'll figure it out and provide you with the right diagnosis. If your vehicle is under its powertrain warranty, it still might be a covered repair. We're confident we can determine the cause, so you should bring it to us immediately. Driving with a check engine light for long distances is not a good idea, and a visit to a service center like ours is necessary.
