How Check Engine Lights Work

The check engine light can mean many different things, and this is because it’s turned on by the car’s computer rather than a specific sensor. The computer has hundreds of sensors connected to it, many of which line the fuel system. When one of those sensors gets an abnormal reading, it sends a code to the computer, which logs the code and then turns on the check engine light. That means that your check engine light can mean that many different things have happened in your fuel system, and it’s best to get it diagnosed by a professional.

The Process of Check Engine Light Diagnosis

Our certified experts start every check engine light diagnosis by reading the code or codes that the computer logged before turning on the check engine light. This gives them a general area and an idea of the types of things that can be going on, and from there, they can start narrowing down their options. Once they’ve ruled out all the other possibilities, they come back with a definite diagnosis of what’s happened in your car.
