Check Engine Light FAQs
Why did my check engine light turn on?
The check engine light can illuminate for various reasons, including a loose gas cap, failing oxygen sensor, faulty spark plugs, or an issue with the catalytic converter. A diagnostic scan and inspection are the best way to determine the exact cause.
Can I keep driving with the check engine light on?
If the light is steady, you may be able to drive temporarily, but it’s best to have it checked as soon as possible. A flashing check engine light, however, indicates a more serious issue that requires immediate attention.
