CHECK ENGINE!
If your check engine light is on, it’s best to bring your vehicle in for diagnostic testing. While the lights vary in appearance from vehicle to vehicle, all have the same basic meaning: There’s a problem with the car’s emissions system. The on-board diagnostics system and engine control unit are in charge of monitoring different parameters, and if they sense something unusual the check engine light is triggered.
There are a variety of issues that can cause engine light to come on, anything from a loose gas cap to a faulty fuel injector can be the culprit. Some other potential causes include:
- A wet engine
- A blown gasket head
- Faulty oxygen sensors
- Worn-out spark plugs or spark plug wires
- Loose or cracked hoses and manifolds
- Sticky exhaust gas recirculation valves
- Pinched or deteriorated fuel injector O-rings
A few of the above items are quick fixes. While others are can be more timely. Though it may seem that your car is driving just fine, you may be wasting fuel and/or causing major harm to the engine. In Nevada, your vehicle will not pass the state required annual emissions test if the light is on. Bring your car down to Sunshine Service Brake & Alignment and we will diagnose your check engine code and get you back on the road.
