Check Engine Light Woes?

The check engine light can mean a lot of things for you and your vehicle. It could be a loose gas cap or major engine problems. Because this warning light can mean so many things, lots of drivers will ignore the light and continue driving because they don’t notice any change in how their vehicle is operating. This is not a good idea. The check engine light is a sign that something is wrong. Ignoring the light can mean a small, easy-to-fix and inexpensive repair turns into a catastrophic failure that will be expensive and time-consuming to fix. The team at Big Apple Automotive in Apple Valley, CA, is here to help inspect, diagnose, and repair whatever is at the root of your check engine light’s appearance.

The Light is On, So Now What?

The initial illumination of the check engine light is not usually a “panic now” situation. It’s your vehicle’s way of saying that something is not quite right somewhere in the engine or supporting systems. The color and state of the light will give you more information about the dire situation. For example, if the check engine light is red and flashing, there is something seriously wrong with your vehicle, and you need to stop driving as soon as possible. Get your car to Big Apple Automotive as soon as possible so our team can diagnose and repair the underlying issue. A solid yellow or orange check engine light shows a less dire situation. You don’t have to come to us immediately, but bringing your car to Big Apple Automotive soon is definitely on the agenda. Check your gas cap, especially if the light came on after you fueled up your car. You can then drive your vehicle normally for a little while to allow the computer to respond to the reseating of the gas cap. If the check engine light goes out, the problem is solved. If it doesn’t, it’s time to make an appointment with the Big Apple Automotive team.
