Every year our cars are getting more powerful, more miles per gallon, and more technology. Under the hood your car is also getting more complicated. Where old electrical and mechanical systems used to move you, new computer systems are faster and more accurate than ever before.
Of course, just like everything else, car parts wear out, and the only way your car can let you know something is wrong is with the check engine light or service engine soon light. Even if your vehicle seems to be running fine, driving around with the check engine light on is not a good idea. Your vehicle could be experiencing an internal failure, about to experience a failure or could be getting very poor fuel mileage.
Aside from storing diagnostic trouble codes, which a good auto diagnostic technician will use to start his investigation, the vehicles computer system has picked up on a problem. It will generally turn the Service Engine Soon light on (also known as the Check Engine Light) which usually indicates the engine or one of its connected systems is experiencing a failure. If continued to drive, the car can place itself in “limp-mode”. In limp mode, the engine runs, but you’ll notice it doesn’t deliver the performance or fuel economy you’re accustomed to. It’s just enough power to get you home or to a service garage.
Depending on the failure, driving around with the check engine light flashing is not recommended. This potentially indicates the fault could be causing expensive collateral damage particularly to the catalytic converters, which are very expensive to replace.
