What Does the Check Engine Light Mean?

Your vehicle’s check engine light (CEL) is part of the onboard diagnostics system (OBD-II). When it comes on, it’s alerting you that something in your engine, emissions, or drivetrain isn’t functioning properly. It could be something simple like a loose gas cap—or it could signal a more serious issue that requires immediate attention.Common causes for a check engine light include:

  • Faulty oxygen sensors
  • Loose or damaged gas cap
  • Catalytic converter issues
  • Spark plug or ignition coil failure
  • Mass airflow sensor problems
  • Emissions system faults
  • Transmission-related codes

Whether it's a steady light or blinking warning, don’t delay—early diagnosis can prevent costly repairs and breakdowns.
