Diagnosing The Source Of The Problem

After one of our technicians brings your vehicle into our shop, they will begin their diagnosis to nail down why the light is on. As mentioned above, one of the main reasons why your check engine light is on may be due to loose fuel cap. The cap acts as a seal to keep your fuel system pressurized during operation. If the seal is broken, fuel will evaporate and release fumes into the air. Another big reason is a faulty oxygen sensor, which measures the unburned oxygen in the exhaust system. A faulty sensor can lead to more fuel consumption, excessive wear of the spark plugs, and damage to your catalytic converter. If any of these components are faulty or failing, they will need to be replaced.

It’s important to note that there are a lot of reasons why your check engine light might be on. If you suspect any issues outside of a loose gas cap, it’s important that you get the check engine light inspected.
