The light that we all dread – Check Engine Light (CEL)
But have no fear, Smoky Hill Auto Service is here! We perform a code check (quick scan tool reading) of your CEL for FREE. Yes, it’s true!
Manufacturers do not make dashboard lights yellow, orange or red in color for no good reason. Whether they are blinking lights or steady & bright, they are there for a reason. Any light that comes on should be looked at immediately or at least sooner rather than later. These lights serve as a warning that your vehicle is not in a happy state and expert attention is needed. Occasionally with these lights you’ll only notice the dashboard light, but other times you might notice drivability issues. The term “drivability” refers to the vehicle’s performance being diminished, it’s running poorly, or the vehicle might not be running at all.
What Does the Check Engine Light Mean?
Your vehicle’s CEL can signal a wide range of issues, from minor concerns to serious problems. Common causes might include:
- Loose or Faulty Gas Cap: Simple issue that can affect fuel efficiency and emissions.
- Oxygen Sensor Malfunction: A failed sensor can cause your engine to run inefficiently.
- Catalytic Converter Problems: Damage to the converter affects your vehicle’s emissions and performance.
- Mass Airflow Sensor Issues: Problems with this sensor can lead to reduced engine performance.
- Ignition System Failures: Faulty spark plugs, wires, or coils can trigger the light.
