Check Engine Light

Check Engine Light Diagnoses in New Lenox, Schererville, and Steger

Few things are more stressful than looking at your gauge cluster while driving and seeing the little yellow engine symbol. Something is wrong with your car, but you can’t be sure what. Maybe it’s running rough, but more often than not it will be driving pretty much normal. There are countless reasons why your check engine light could be on. The onboard diagnostics (OBD) system in modern vehicles is extremely sensitive. If your car is appearing to be running normally, and the check engine light isn’t flashing (flashing CEL’s indicate a misfire, and you should NOT continue driving), don’t panic. Bring your car to a mechanic and have them read the code triggering the light. It might be something as simple as a loose gas cap!
