What Does a Check Engine Light Diagnostic Involve?
A check engine light diagnostic involves connecting a scanner device to your vehicle’s onboard computer system.
This device reads error codes that can identify what issue or issues may be causing the check engine light to illuminate. Once we've deciphered these codes, we can begin formulating an effective solution tailored specifically for your vehicle.
Detailed Inspection Process:
- Evaluating: The initial step involves evaluating why exactly the check engine light is on by scanning for error codes.
- Determining: Next, we determine what repairs are necessary based on these error codes.
- Solving: Finally, after explaining our findings and receiving approval from you (the owner), we'll undertake any necessary repairs or maintenance procedures with utmost precision and care.
The Importance Of Addressing Your Check Engine Light Promptly
If ignored, minor issues causing your check engine light could potentially evolve into major problems that could damage other components of your car and even lead to costly repairs down the line. We recommend taking prompt action as soon as you notice this warning sign!

FAQs
-
Q. "What is the difference between a steadily lit and a flashing check engine light?"A steadily lit light means that a sensor is sending a signal to your vehicle's computer that something is wrong or it could simply mean that the sensor is out. If your check engine light is flashing, however, that means there is a serious issue and you should stop driving immediately.
-
Q. "Why is my check engine light on but nothing seems to be wrong with my vehicle?"If nothing within your vehicle stands out, then it is possible that it is just a minor issue such as a loose gas cap or a bad O2 sensor. It is still recommended to see a mechanic if the light doesn't disappear to check for any larger issues.

Q. "What to do if your check engine light turns on?"We recommend heading to your local auto shop as soon as you are able. This is typically a sign that there is an abnormality within your engine.

Q. "Is it safe to drive your car when the check engine light is on?"It depends. If you are experiencing other noticeable issues with your vehicle, it may be best to pull over. Otherwise, it is typically okay to drive to your local auto shop. You will want to get this checked sooner rather than later to avoid being stranded with a broken-down car.
