Check Engine Light

Check Engine Light

We have all been there before: That moment when your Check Engine light comes on and panic consumes you. What does that light mean? Where should you have it serviced? Today’s vehicles are primarily computer-controlled and utilize sophisticated technology to operate properly. The use of this technology plays a significant part in the diagnosis of your vehicle’s performance. When your vehicle is illuminating the “Check Engine” light or not running properly, oftentimes computer diagnostics are needed to determine what part is malfunctioning.

What Does It Mean?

When a Check Engine light is illuminated, this means the onboard computer system in your vehicle has detected a problem or service need with one or more of the many different systems it monitors and controls, such as your engine or transmission. Therefore, Mr. Transmission – Milex Complete Auto Care recommends our Computer Diagnostics service to provide you with an accurate assessment of your vehicle’s condition. Our Computer Diagnostics service utilizes state-of-the-art diagnostics equipment, which is connected to your vehicle to view any computer trouble codes.

FAQs About Check Engine Light

What does a flashing light mean vs. a steady light?

A flashing light indicates a problem that is currently happening and may require immediate attention. We recommend not driving if it is flashing to prevent further issuing, whereas a steady light can be diagnosed at the first convenient opportunity.

How does a technician check the light?

A technician connects a scan tool to your car’s on-board diagnostic system to determine the problem. Further diagnostics may be required to pinpoint the exact cause of the problem.
