How Will My Car Benefit from a Check Engine Light Service?

Check engine light service at Crown Acura’s Service Center allows you to get to the bottom of why your car’s check engine light through diagnostics.

Drive on a check engine light for too long, and you may find yourself experiencing a breakdown that can threaten your safety and hurt your wallet.

What Triggers a Check Engine Light?

The anxiety surrounding check engine lights tends to be rooted in a driver being unaware of the light’s cause.

Let’s examine the most common reasons why drivers face a check engine light.

A loose fuel cap is a prime example of a minor check engine cause for drivers. Your car’s fuel cap helps bookend your vehicle’s fuel delivery system—so your model’s On-Board Diagnostics computer is bound to warn you if the cap is loose or not on at all. If you’re greeted with an engine light, it’s beneficial to safely pull over and make sure your fuel cap is secure.

Car ignition system issues like worn spark plugs and plug wires can activate a car’s engine light. Crown Acura Service Center’s factory-trained technicians will thoroughly inspect your vehicle to evaluate the condition of your spark plugs and plug wires before implementing any necessary solutions.

Your engine needs airflow for gasoline combustion that propels your vehicle—and your car’s mass airflow sensors measure this air intake to ensure a proper mix of air and fuel. A mass airflow sensor can fail and leave you in the presence of a check engine light. On a similar note, your vehicle’s oxygen sensor analyzes how much oxygen is in your vehicle’s exhaust. Excess oxygen within your vehicle’s exhaust can cause damage to various engine components, so a broken oxygen sensor will activate a check engine light without question.

A failed catalytic converter is one of the costliest reasons a check engine light can appear. Your car can’t function without a working catalytic converter since this component reduces the toxicity of your engine’s exhaust. The primary symptom of a failed catalytic converter is a rotten egg smell.

How Can I Turn Off My Check Engine Light?

While the feeling of an active check engine light brings stress—you can experience relief by making the light disappear with specific steps.

The best way to deactivate your engine light is to visit Crown Acura’s Service Center for an inspection so we can recognize and remedy the light’s cause.

While driving on a blinking check engine light is dangerous, you can drive on a solidly lit check engine light for a few days to see if it turns off by itself. It’s helpful to know that your check engine light may take a little while to turn off after you’ve addressed any issues that need fixing, like a faulty gas cap or a repair at Crown Acura’s Service Center.
