Common Causes of Check Engine Light Illumination
Various factors can trigger the check engine light, including:

- Loose Fuel Cap: A simple issue that can affect the entire fuel system and its efficiency.
- Catalytic Converter Issues: Necessary for reducing harmful emissions, it can cause significant increases in emissions when malfunctioning.
- Mass Airflow Sensor Problems: Measuring air entering the engine, its failure can affect performance.
