Check Engine Light: Explained

What does it mean when your check engine sign lights up? It could be a variety of issues, but in any case, your sensors in your engine have detected a malfunction. Sometimes, it’s as simple as your gas cap needing to be replaced, which often only costs about $20 to fix.

Other times, your check engine light comes on for more serious reasons, such as malfunctioning spark plugs or a broken catalytic converter. If you fail to get these items replaced in your car, you could end up having your car break down on you. Either way, your car’s performance will certainly take a toll if you ignore your check engine light.
