Common Reasons Your Check Engine Light Is On
A check engine light can point to any number of issues. The most frequent causes include a loose or faulty gas cap, a failing oxygen sensor, a worn catalytic converter, a failing mass airflow sensor, damaged spark plugs or wires, a weak battery, an EGR valve problem, or a vacuum leak.
A trouble code is the starting point for diagnosis, not the conclusion. A single code can point to several possible causes, and confirming the real one requires inspecting the affected systems directly. Symptoms like rough idling, reduced fuel economy, or unusual odors often accompany the light and give our technicians useful context when narrowing down the problem.

Book online or call us at (317) 342-1215. Most diagnostic work can be completed the same day, with repairs performed immediately or scheduled based on parts and availability. You’ll hear from us with findings before anything is touched.
Flashing vs. Steady Check Engine Light: What Each Means
A steady check engine light signals a stored fault that needs diagnosis. In most cases, you can drive safely to our Greenwood shop, provided no other warning lights are active and the vehicle isn’t behaving unusually. Even a light that appears and disappears on its own warrants a visit: the fault code stays stored in the vehicle’s computer until a technician clears it.
A flashing check engine light is a different situation. It typically indicates an active engine misfire, a fault that can rapidly damage the catalytic converter and other components. If your light is flashing, stop driving and arrange service immediately.

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. "Do you offer a warranty?"As part of our Nice difference.® commitment to providing our customers the best auto service experience possible, we also offer a3-year/36,000-mile warranty on all the work that we do.

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.
