can bad battery cause check engine light

Yes, a bad battery can indirectly cause the check engine light to illuminate. Modern vehicles rely heavily on electrical systems, which are powered by the battery. A failing battery might not provide sufficient stable voltage, causing erratic operation of sensors and electronic control units (ECUs). This can trigger diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs), leading the check engine light to turn on. While the light doesn’t specifically indicate a battery issue, it's signaling that the vehicle’s onboard computer has detected a malfunction. If your check engine light is on, it’s advisable to check the battery's health alongside standard diagnostic procedures. This approach ensures you don't overlook a simple solution like replacing the battery before delving into more complex troubleshooting.
