Find Out some Common Reasons of why your Check Engine Light is On!

Check Engine Light on Transmission Shop

It is easy to overlook a check engine light on , because your car may seem to be acting fine. Before you know it, weeks and months go by with the engine light on. Even though your car may act it is working alright, the truth of the matter is that is not okay, or else it would not have the engine light on. The problem with not figuring out the reason behind the engine light on can lead to worse problems.

Unless you are having signs of transmission problems , the check engine light doesn’t technically mean that you are having a problem with your transmission. In reality, most common problems that lead to an engine light on could begin from a relatively simple fix, such as a part replacement. Your engine light may be on because an item on your car needs to be replaced. Here are a few simple items that could need replacing, if your engine light is on:

·Spark plugs

·Ignition coils

·Evaporative emissions (also known as EVAP) control valve or solenoids

·Mass airflow (also known as MAF) sensor

·O2 sensor

·Catalytic converter

·Thermostat

·Fuel cap or injectors


Fortunately, these replacements are on the much affordable side of car repairs. A part replacement can significantly differ from the cost of a transmission rebuild. With that being said, it is important to bring your car in as soon as you notice the check engine light on because bigger problems could occur from continuing to drive with the light on.

For example, if an ignition coil is faulty it can lead to severe problems with your engine. Ultimately resulting in an expensive, major repair or worst case having to buy a new vehicle. So, you have a check engine light on? Don’t ignore it or wait to bring it into Eagle Transmission for a free initial check to get a troubleshoot code. The more time you put off bringing your car is, the more it could cost you. Bringing your car in to get checked is never convenient, but playing it safe is a better alternative to your car not working anymore. Keep your car running optimally and properly by setting a time to bring your car in as soon as possible?
