Check Engine Light Diagnostics

Is there something wrong with the way your vehicle is driving? An engine light doesn’t always mean a huge repair bill. Is your check engine light on? It could be as simple as a loose gas cap, or as complex as a hard to diagnose engine malfunction. Either way, Complete Car Care Encinitas can help! Today’s vehicles are manufactured with complex inter-related systems. Onboard computers continuously monitor and store information concerning the performance of these systems. A warning light comes on because the computer has sensed that a signal from one of the systems or components has gone outside of its normal operating range or stopped working. The computer then sends a signal to turn on the light to let you know something is amiss or plain wrong!

While warning lights can go on and the car still appears to be driving “fine”, ignoring some lights can lead to serious issues, such as engine damage or major component failure. In some instances, this can be a safety hazard. That’s why is better to be safe, give yourself peace of mind, and have your car looked at by a certified professional at Complete Car Care Encinitas as soon as possible. We have the technicians, technology, and knowledge to handle diagnostic issues and recommend the appropriate repairs that will keep your vehicle running healthy and safe.
