You’re likely reading this because the dreaded “Check Engine” light in your vehicle is illuminated. Because this light could signify a wide range of possible issues, the fact that it’s on could leave you feeling uneasy.
We have all heard to first check if it’s because your gas cap is loose. Ok, but what if it’s still on after you tighten it, what does the light mean then. The diagnostics tool in your car is designed to monitor quite a few mechanisms and functions, and even if there is one small issue, your Check Engine light will turn on.
