Check Engine Light explained
Flashing Check Engine Light
If your check engine light is flashing at you, this indicates a very serious
problem–such as a cylinder misfire. This could lead to a very costly
and dangerous situation. Bring your vehicle in for your service immediately
if your check engine light begins flashing.
Solid Check Engine Light
Even if your check engine light is solid, rather than flashing, your vehicle
is still releasing an irregular amount of emissions due to a problem and
should be serviced as soon as possible. Problems causing a solid check
engine light can range from your engine or another crucial system–any
of which can hinder your vehicle’s mileage and performance. At Christian
Brothers Automotive, our skilled technicians will diagnose and fix the
underlying issue, ensuring your vehicle is safe to drive.
