What Does The Check Engine Light Mean?

The check engine light (CEL) is a warning indicator on your vehicle’s dashboard that alerts you to potential issues with your engine, emissions, or another system. It’s a part of your vehicle’s onboard diagnostics (OBD-II) system and can also be referred to as the malfunction indicator lamp. The OBD-II system continually monitors various sensors and components in your vehicle. When the light illuminates, it means that the OBD-II system has detected a problem, such as a malfunctioning sensor, an emissions issue, or an engine component problem. While the light doesn’t pinpoint the exact problem, it serves as an early warning system, prompting you to seek professional check engine light diagnostics and repairs to prevent potential damage and ensure your vehicle’s continued performance and reliability. We specialize in diagnosing and resolving check engine light issues at Hills & Dales Auto Care in Canton, Ohio. Our experienced technicians utilize advanced diagnostic tools and their expertise to identify the problem accurately.

Possible Reasons For The Check Engine Light

When you come in for check engine light diagnostics, we get right to work on hooking your vehicle up to our code-scanning equipment. Common problems associated with the CEL include oxygen sensor malfunctions, loose gas caps, faulty catalytic converters, vacuum leaks, damaged mass airflow sensors, and bad exhaust gas circulation (EGR) valves.
