My “Check Engine” Light Just Came On – Now What?

Most of us have experienced the mysterious check engine light illuminated on our dashboards at least once. This light is meant to notify you of a possible malfunction within your vehicle. This symbol turns on when your vehicle’s onboard computer detects an issue with one of its monitoring systems. As one of the most misunderstood symbols on your dashboard, it can indicate a variety of different problems, from just a loose gas cap to a dangerously misfiring engine. Dealing with a check engine light that’s lit on your dashboard can be daunting, but determining the cause as soon as possible is crucial as it can potentially save you time and money. You can always rely on Sun Devil Auto to help diagnose the cause of what has made your check engine light to come on.
