Q
what does the engine light mean
I'm a seasoned industrial engineer with a keen interest in machine learning. Here to share insights on latest industry trends.
The engine light, officially known as the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL), is a signal from your car's onboard diagnostics system (OBD-II) indicating that it has detected a malfunction. The causes can range from minor issues, like a loose gas cap, to more severe problems such as a malfunctioning catalytic converter or issues with the engine's performance. Ignoring this light can lead to significant damage and costly repairs. It's advisable to have your vehicle diagnosed by a professional to determine the specific cause. In some cases, the light may illuminate for transient reasons and turn off after a few driving cycles once the issue is resolved. However, if it persists, it's essential to take action to ensure the longevity and safety of your vehicle.
