The "Check Engine" light, a crucial component of a vehicle's onboard diagnostics system (OBD), acts as an early warning sign. Illuminating either as a steady light or blinking, it signals the detection of a potential issue with the vehicle’s engine or related systems. Reasons for activation range widely from minor issues like a loose gas cap to more serious problems such as a malfunctioning catalytic converter. When the light comes on, it’s advisable to promptly check the vehicle’s manual and consult with a professional mechanic to diagnose the exact problem, ensuring it doesn’t escalate into a more significant, costly repair. Ignoring this warning can lead to decreased performance, higher emissions, and even engine damage.

An on-board diagnostic system for the vehicle turns on the check engine light when it detects a mechanical or electrical problem. It can be anything from a loose gas cap to a faulty sensor to a fire in the engine. A check engine typically requires a diagnostic tool that reads specific error codes from the car's computer system.
