Types of Check Engine Light Warnings

Solid Check Engine Light

A solid check engine light usually indicates a non-emergency issue, such as a loose gas cap or a minor emission problem. While it may not require immediate attention, it’s essential to have it checked to avoid potential long-term damage.

Flashing Check Engine Light

A flashing check engine light is more serious and often signals a severe issue, such as a misfire that could damage the catalytic converter. Immediate diagnostics and repair are necessary to prevent extensive damage to your vehicle.

FAQ

What should I do when my check engine light comes on?

Can I ignore a solid check engine light?

While a solid check engine light might indicate a minor issue, it’s still essential to have it checked. Ignoring it can lead to more significant problems down the line.
