What Does the Check Engine Light Mean?

To answer this question, we will first look at the Engine Control Unit or ECU. This is a computer that monitors all of your engine’s functions. If the ECU senses that something is not working the way it should, it will trigger the check engine light. So, the light simply means that something is not right with your vehicle’s engine. In addition to triggering the check engine light, the ECU will also store a unique code based on the malfunction. When you come to Triple J Guam for a check engine light diagnostic service, our technicians will hook your vehicle up to a code reader, which will let them know what the problem is.

What Should I Do if the Check Engine Light Comes On?

The way that you should react varies based on what the light is doing. Most of the time, the check engine light will be solid. In cases like this, it’s most likely not an emergency. While it is still important, you can keep driving and schedule a service appointment when you arrive at your destination. Before you do this, you might want to check your gas cap. If the gas cap is loose, it can trigger the check engine light. A flashing check engine light, on the other hand, usually means that the engine is misfiring. This can destroy your vehicle’s catalytic converter, so it’s best to pull over immediately, turn off the vehicle’s engine, and call for a tow to Triple J Guam.
