The check engine light is part of your vehicle’s onboard diagnostic system (OBD-II). When the light comes on, it means the computer has detected a problem with your engine, emissions system, or other components. The light may be:

• Steady – usually indicates a non-urgent issue, such as a loose gas cap or a minor to moderate problem.
• Flashing – signals a more serious issue, such as a misfire, that could damage your engine or catalytic converter if not addressed.
