Check Engine Light Diagnosis

What Is a Check Engine Light?

The check engine light is typically located in the dashboard and can be colored yellow, orange, or amber, depending on the vehicle manufacturer. The check engine light’s function is to alert the driver that there could be an issue with the vehicle. The systems most associated with the check engine light include the emission, exhaust, and fuel systems, although it is not limited to these systems. The check engine light does not specify exactly what the issue with the vehicle is. The diagnosis requires the vehicle to be connected to a computer or code reader that will be able to determine exactly what issue is causing the check engine light to illuminate.

What To Do If The Check Engine Light Comes On

Most drivers tend to feel anxious when they see the check engine light illuminated. Although the check engine light should be taken seriously, there is no need to panic. If the check engine light is flashing, it could indicate a more serious issue. Regardless of the blinking, we recommend you do not delay getting the vehicle inspected. At Ray Skillman Southside Kia, we carry specialized technology that can efficiently determine the cause of a check engine light. The diagnosis will be performed by experienced, highly skilled, and certified technicians at our facility. At times, it could be a minor issue such as a faulty gas cap, or it could be a major issue such as a problem with the catalytic convertor of your vehicle. We are also well equipped to fix any issues found by the diagnosis service.
