Top 5 Reasons the "Check Engine" Light is On

Check Engine Light is On


Below are the top reasons your check engine light may be on - and why you should bring your vehicle in to be checked:

1.  The gas cap is loose or damaged.

A loose gas cap can allow your fuel to evaporate causing you to spend more at the pump.

2.  The oxygen sensor needs replacing.

If this is the case, you might be burning more fuel than you need to causing a loss of fuel efficiency.

3.  The spark plugs or wires need replaced.

Worn out plugs or wires can clog your catalytic converters and oxygen sensors, leading to poor performance and lower fuel economy.

4.  The catalytic converter needs to be replaced.

The converter helps reduce emissions, and if it needs replaced you could be in danger of failing the emissions test, in addition to poor performance.

5.  The mass airflow sensor needs to be replaced.

This means that the amount of air entering the engine is being misread, causing damage to spark plugs, oxygen sensors, and more leading to poor performance and fuel efficiency.
