COMMON CAUSES OF A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT

Your check engine light can be triggered by various issues, including:

  • Oxygen Sensor Failure: The oxygen sensor monitors the amount of unburned oxygen in your car’s exhaust. A faulty sensor can reduce fuel efficiency and increase emissions.
  • Loose or Damaged Gas Cap: A loose or cracked gas cap can cause fuel vapor to leak, triggering the check engine light.
  • Catalytic Converter Issues: The catalytic converter helps reduce harmful emissions. If it’s not functioning properly, it can cause your check engine light to come on.
  • Spark Plug or Ignition Coil Problems: Faulty spark plugs or ignition coils can cause your engine to misfire, leading to a check engine light.
  • Mass Airflow Sensor Failure: The mass airflow sensor measures the amount of air entering the engine. If it fails, it can affect engine performance and trigger the check engine light.


WHEN TO SCHEDULE A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT SERVICE

If your check engine light is on, don’t wait to get it checked out. Ignoring the light can lead to more serious and expensive repairs down the road. Schedule a service as soon as possible if you notice:

  • Persistent Check Engine Light: A steady check engine light indicates an issue that needs attention.
  • Flashing Check Engine Light: A flashing light is a sign of a more serious problem, such as an engine misfire, which requires immediate attention.
  • Performance Issues: If your vehicle is experiencing reduced power, rough idling, or stalling, it’s important to have it inspected right away.
