What does an engine diagnostic check involve?
An engine diagnostic check involves scanning your vehicle’s onboard computer (ECU) using specialised tools to identify error codes or warning signals. These codes indicate potential issues with systems like ignition, fuel injection, airflow, sensors and more. A proper diagnostic test includes live data readings, performance analysis and often a visual inspection to confirm the fault. It helps pinpoint problems quickly and accurately, saving time and reducing repair costs.
Why is my check engine light on?
The check engine light can appear for many reasons, ranging from minor issues like a loose fuel cap to more serious problems like a failing oxygen sensor or engine misfire. Common causes include emissions faults, ignition system errors or malfunctioning sensors. Even if your car feels fine, it’s important to get the light checked promptly to avoid long-term damage or reduced performance.
Can I keep driving if the engine light is on?
It depends on the cause. A solid engine light often signals a non-urgent issue, though it should still be checked soon. A flashing engine light, however, indicates a serious problem such as an active misfire that could damage the catalytic converter. If the light is flashing or your car feels different—sluggish, noisy or rough—it’s best to stop driving and have it inspected immediately.
