What Does a Check Engine Light Mean?
Your vehicle’s check engine light is designed to alert you when the onboard computer detects a problem. That problem could be something simple, like a loose gas cap, or something more serious affecting performance, fuel economy, or engine health.
The light may be solid or flashing. A flashing check engine light usually means the issue needs immediate attention to prevent damage.
Professional Engine Diagnostics
We use proper diagnostic equipment to communicate directly with your vehicle’s computer system. This allows us to read fault codes, analyze data, and pinpoint the cause of the warning light.
Our diagnostic process includes:
- Scanning and interpreting engine fault codes
- Inspecting related components and systems
- Identifying the root cause, not just the symptom
- Explaining findings in plain language
A scan alone does not fix the problem. Accurate diagnostics are what lead to the right repair.
Why You Shouldn’t Ignore a Check Engine Light
Driving with a check engine light on can lead to reduced performance, poor fuel economy, or more expensive damage if left unresolved. In Saskatchewan, extreme temperature changes can also make existing issues worse over time.
Getting the issue checked early often saves money and prevents breakdowns down the road.
Common Causes of a Check Engine Light
Some of the more common issues we diagnose include:
- Engine or sensor issues
- Ignition or misfire problems
- Fuel system concerns
- Emissions related faults
- Vacuum leaks or airflow issues
No matter the cause, we take the time to confirm what’s actually wrong before recommending repairs.
