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.
