We Know Why Your Check Engine Light is On
Fellow Oklahomans, we know that your check engine light can be a nuisance at times, but just keep in mind that it is your best friend in regards to identifying potential problems with your engine.
Most of the little problems your car comes across it can fix on its own. But when something occurs that your vehicle can’t adjust, the yellow check engine light illuminates to make you aware of the issue. These issues can be very small and easy to fix at home, or they can be more serious and require professional maintenance; and they can happen in both new cars and old.
If the light is steady when lit, then the issue isn’t urgent. Check the gauges on your vehicle for any hints as to what the issue may be, like the temperature of your engine or the oil pressure. The check engine light could be indicating something as simple as a need for an oil change or a loose gas cap, but if your car is overheating the issue could be more severe and you should shut down your engine as soon as possible.
If the check engine light is blinking, then the issue is critical and must be taken care of immediately by a professional. This could be caused by a number of serious issues that could lead to permanent damage to your vehicle if not taken care of properly. But as long as you take care of your car, it’ll take car of you and take you all over Oklahoma.
Regardless of whether the light is blinking or steady, it would be in your best interest to have your vehicle looked at by a mechanic as a precaution. For excellent rates on maintenance and even routine check ups, bring your car, truck or SUV to us at Barry Sanders Supercenter.
