Potential Underlying Causes
Your automobile is equipped with the second-generation onboard diagnostic system (OBD-II) by federal mandate. The rules were enacted to limit the amount of harmful emissions that are spewed into the environment by transportation. The associated check engine light alerts drivers to conditions in either the fuel or exhaust systems that may make their automobiles run less efficiently and release more toxins than environmental regulations allow. We’ll connect our computerized equipment to your car’s OBD-II port to obtain a trouble code. Once we know the general direction in which to look, we’ll use our expertise to identify the exact issue. Possible causes may be as simple as a loose gas cap that’s causing a breach in the closed fuel system or as complicated as a failing catalytic converter. Usually, the trouble lies somewhere in between. Frequent problems that we correct include a bad oxygen sensor, a failed mass airflow sensor, aged spark plugs, and frayed spark plug wires.
