When Your Check Engine Light is On
All the lights on the dashboard of your car are important indicators of problems. Whether it’s something as small as a missing fuel cap after your last fill-up or a much bigger system failure, given the complicated nature of the onboard computer diagnostic system (OBDII), it can be difficult to pinpoint the more complex issues the check engine light could be signaling. While there are devices on the market that say they can show you the trouble codes, this is definitely one of the times when it’s recommended to take your vehicle into a trusted automotive repair shop, like Shepherd Automotive. Don’t try to diagnose the problem on your own. Our trained technicians can inspect, diagnose, and repair any issues your vechicle may be having. Whether it’s simple or complex, you can rest knowing that we have diagnosed and repaired your vehicle without any glitches. Stop in today to schedule a check engine light diagnostic appointment.
What is OBDII?
The complex monitoring system installed in most newer cars is meant to track all of your vehicle’s systems to ensure they are performing appropriately and efficiently for your vehicle’s needs. When the system’s OBDII discovers a discrepancy anywhere in those systems, it will flash the check engine light on your dashboard. Is the light solid and steady? You probably have a smaller issue, like the gas cap, that needs to be corrected. Is it blinking? This setting warns of a more severe issue, like a catalytic converter failure, among other possible issues. Don’t ignore the check engine light, as doing so can significantly decrease your fuel mileage and the overall life of one or more systems in your vehicle. We recommend setting up an appointment with our office to check it out.
