Check Engine Light Diagnostics

Processes And Problems

Accurate check engine light diagnostics is a blend of using computer technology and mechanical expertise. We’ll connect our computer equipment to the car’s OBD-II port if your CEL is illuminated. Our machine will generate a universal trouble code telling us where to look. Then, we’ll draw on our experience and knowledge to pinpoint the exact issue. The most common problems are sensors that have gone bad. These include the oxygen sensor that detects the amount of unburned oxygen in the exhaust and the mass airflow sensor that measures the amount of air available to mix with fuel for combustion. Aging spark plugs can also trigger the warning. However, the problem can be as simple as a loose gas cap or as complex as a bad catalytic converter. Although you can almost always drive to our shop because the light displays as steady and solid after the initial start-up, turn off the vehicle and call us for a tow if the light is flashing after this brief time.
