What Does My Check Engine Light Mean?

Anytime the check engine light illuminates on your dashboard, there is a sense of concern about a problem within your new car, truck, or SUV. While helpful, there is no particular telling of why the light has turned or how to fix the problem. Your check engine light is an indication of a malfunction within your vehicle emissions, ignitions, and fuel or exhaust systems

Here at Dellen Chevy Buick GMC, we provide our services to help ease your worries and can you back on the road as soon as possible. Our certified services not only offer peace of mind but keep you track of your routine maintenance services.

Why Is My Check Engine Light On?

The primary responsibility of monitoring is to ensure your vehicle operates at its full potential with the lowest possible emissions. If there are major or minor malfunctions, the check engine symbol will highlight a need for a service.

The experienced technicians here at our service center will find the problem associated with your check engine light. Here are the possible reasons why your check engine light has turned on:

• Failing oxygen sensor
• A loose gas cap
• Bad spark plug/ignition coil
• Bad spark plug wires
• A problem with your catalytic converter
• Bad mass airflow sensor
• Engine vacuum leak
• Excessive gas consumption or release of air pollutants

It is also important to note, that not all check engine light warnings are the same. Your check engine light may flicker on and off in certain situations, stay on consistently, stay on and show performance issues, or stays on and blinks in a steady pattern. Regardless of how your check engine light may illuminate, schedule an appointment as soon as possible.
