Check Engine Light - What is it?
So if you’ve just looked at your dash and noticed a check engine light turn on DON'T PANIC and take a deep breath. It may just be a simple free fix so read on and gain a little knowledge that might just save you $$$! Think of a Check Engine Light as a message, kinda like a text or an email from your vehicle’s onboard computer. The good news, almost all vehicles from 1996 till now have standardized their computers called Electronic Control Units (ECU’s) and a “message language” that lets the user know when something isn’t quite right with the vehicle. When the onboard computer detects something different worth noting in the engine, transmission, even things like a gas cap or brakes, it will turn on and illuminate your check engine light. |

If You’re a Motorist, Don’t Miss Out on This App!
Like most things, driving is subjective. For many, it is a tool to get from point A to point B. While there are others who see it as a way of life. The common denominator between them is that all their cars need maintenance. You cannot drive an unmaintained vehicle for long and that’s a fact. But maintenance has changed over the past few decades just like the average motor car. Cars have become increasingly electronic. The introduction of the Engine Control Unit (ECU) has a lot to do with it. Everything’s more digital and hence more accurate now. Computers control everything about your vehicle and they’re pretty good at their job. This has led to the introduction of vehicle diagnostic data. This has all the information about the internal mumbo jumbo happening inside your car’s engine. It’ll tell you exactly how your car’s running. |
