"My vehicle’s 'Check Engine Light' came on. What should I do?"

"Your check engine light can come on for a number of reasons—ranging from something simple like a gas cap not being completely tightened after a fill-up to something more serious—but it’s something you definitely shouldn’t ignore. To determine the severity of the problem, it’s best to consult a professional. Typically, the check engine light comes on because your vehicle’s “brain” detects a problem via multiple reports from various sensors under the hood. If your check engine light is blinking, shut down the vehicle and have it towed, as a blinking light indicates a serious problem that can cause severe engine damage."
