Uh Oh, Check Engine Light

9/19/2017

Picture
Your Check Engine Light (CEL) warns you that your vehicle’s computer found a malfunctioning component in your emission control system. You may see “check engine,” “service engine soon,” or “check powertrain.” Or, the light may show an engine picture, perhaps with the word “Check.”

​To determine the actual problem, we use an electronic scan tool or a diagnostic computer to retrieve Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC). Some common issues that turn on the check engine light include:
  • Your gas cap isn’t on tight enough (we suggest checking before coming in)
  • Water got into your engine somewhere
  • The spark plugs don’t function correctly
  • Your vehicle is emitting high levels of pollutants

In any case, you should bring your vehicle to Forest Hill Garage, and we can inspect your vehicle, diagnose the problem, and take care of it. Leaving your engine light on can cause serious problems with your car in the long run.

A check engine light appointment goes pretty fast, so stop by.

Thanks for addressing the factors responsible for the appearance of check engine light. The check engine light indicates that certain components of the engine are not working properly. So, the condition of the engine along with other components of the car should be inspected regularly and abnormal components should be repaired in time to keep the car in working order. Lack of maintenance is solely responsible for the development of different types of mechanical issues in the car. So, a person should be aware of basic car maintenance tricks.

Malfunction in the emission control system is solely responsible for the appearance of the check engine light.
Issues in catalytic, converter, oxygen sensor, mass airflow sensor or other equipment of the emission control system are solely responsible for the appearance of the check engine light.
Such abnormalities should not be overlooked and skilled professionals should be hired to deal with those issues. To learn more, read

It's interesting to know that there is an electronic scan tool used for diagnostic work to determine the actual problem in your car. I think I already need this kind of service for my vehicle after the lights on the dashboard started to turn on. Tomorrow, I should take it to an auto shop near me before I experience any kind of hassle in the future while driving to my appointments.
