Frequently Asked Questions

What is the first thing to check when the check engine light comes on?

• Inspect the gas cap: a loose or damaged cap is a common, simple cause and can trigger an emissions code.
• Note recent symptoms: misfires, loss of power, or abnormal noises guide the diagnosis and urgency.
• Check dashboard alerts and readings—low oil, coolant, or other warnings may accompany engine codes.
