Understanding The CEL Diagnostic Process
We get it. The malfunction indicator lamp can, at once, be concerning and confusing. At ASR Automotive Service & Repair, we’re glad to simplify the MIL worries for you. The check engine light shows drivers that the second-generation Onboard Diagnostic System, also called the OBD-II, has detected an issue likely related to the fuel or exhaust system. Unless the light continuously flashes past the initial vehicle start-up process, which isn’t typical, the car is safe for you to drive to our shop. It does need prompt attention, but a solid lamp doesn’t indicate an emergency. We’ll connect our computerized diagnostic equipment to the auto’s OBD-II port to get a trouble code. While that points us toward the issue, we’ll use our expertise to identify the specific problem. The potential triggers are many. The trouble may be as simple as a loose gas cap or as complex as a failing catalytic converter. Most often, the trouble is between these extremes, such as a bad mass airflow sensor or an ailing oxygen sensor. Once we know the root cause of the warning, we’ll repair the problem and get you on your way.
