Best Answer

the check engine light indicates there is a malfunction or problem associated with the engine. instead of just having it turned off, it may be in your, and your cars best interest to find out what and if there is a problem. if the light popped on for no reason, just have the light cleared. You can use an OBD2 scanner to read the code from your cars computer. They cost anywhere from $60 to $300, depending on what features you want. A basic scanner that can also reset the code will run you about $100. As the above states, you should read to code, so that you can determine what is causing the fault. The OBD2 port is located on the drivers side, under the dash board, near where your left knee would be while you are driving. It's pretty big, so you can't miss it. The probe from the scanner will only go in one way. So if it doesn't go in one way, turn it 180 degrees, and try it again.
