Cars these days are engineered to be safer and much more durable. However, they will require general care and maintenance to continue running correctly. One of the biggest ways to know if your car is in need of maintenance is when the check engine light turns on. The check engine light is a way for the vehicle to warn the driver that something is in need of repair. These are a few of the most common reasons why a check engine light may turn on.
- The mass airflow sensor is malfunctioning and needs to be replaced
- The oxygen sensor is faulty and in need of replacing
- Bad spark plugs that need to be changed
- The ignition coil is faulty and should be replaced
- The gas cap is damaged or missing and should be fixed
These are just a few of the more common reasons why a check engine light may turn on. Should the check engine light come on, stop into our service department and have it checked by one of our trained staff members! We’ll get you back on the road in no time.
