Understanding Your Check Engine Light
Your vehicle’s check engine light is a built-in diagnostic system designed to alert you to performance, emissions, or safety issues. Ignoring it can lead to reduced fuel efficiency, costly engine damage, or even breakdowns.
CEL Diagnostics: How It Works
Modern vehicles are advanced computers on wheels — and diagnosing a CEL requires both training and technology.
CEL warnings can indicate simple issues (like a loose gas cap) or serious engine problems
Proper diagnosis requires specialized tools and real-time manufacturer data
Diagnostic codes are only a starting point — experienced technicians interpret and test beyond them
Our team uses factory-level scanners and manufacturer-approved testing procedures to pinpoint the root cause
Flashing vs. Steady Check Engine Lights
Flashing Check Engine Light
🚨 Indicates a serious or urgent issue, often linked to potential engine damage or misfire.
👉 Pull over immediately and arrange for towing to prevent further harm.
Steady Check Engine Light
⚠️ Signals a non-emergency problem, such as emissions or sensor issues.
👉 You can drive short distances, but schedule a diagnostic soon to prevent it from worsening.
Since 1996, all vehicles equipped with OBD-II systems display an orange or amber “Service Engine Soon” light when a fault is detected — whether minor or major.
