It depends...Some faults turn on the Check engine light and some dont. You will need to get the car scanned to be certain that there are no fault codes.
Drive it to the mechanic. You have something wrong and that is what the car is telling you. Oil, water, something is not right.
If the check engine lights are on, that means that there is something wrong. A mechanic can check and tell what is wrong with the car.
Something is wrong if the check engine light is on. If the engine is running great then there is no great hurry to get it fixed but there is something wrong with the emissions system or the light would not be on. It is your choice to fix it or not. It may never cause any problems and it could damage the O2 sensors or the converter depending on what is wrong.
You check engine light is signaling to you that there is something wrong with you car. You should have your car looked at by a professional.
It means that your car is due for maintenance such as an oil change. It's more of a "reminder" than a warning that something is horribly wrong. If something was mechanically wrong with your car the actual "Check Engine" LIGHT would be on. Hope that helps!
meaning something's wrong with your engine, go to your car shop and have it diagnosed.
Yeah, it can. If something is wrong with your emmision control system, your car can still fail emmisons, but the check engine light doesn't have to be on.
You need gas in the car or a new engine that has to be fixed in the car.When someting is wrong with the engine, there's something wrong with the car.
It is your "check engine" light. It is telling you that something is wrong with the engine or engine controls. It could be minor or major. You will need to get the "codes" read to find out the problem. Use a code scanner to find out what is wrong.
It means you drive down to you local car parts store and ask to borrow one of their engine light code readers to see what the problem is, the light indicates there is something wrong, that something wrong could be 100 things, you need the reader to find out whats wrong.
Im guessing there is something wrong with your car!
The light can indicate a number of maladies with your car. The Commodore has a computer that monitors engine activity, and when something goes wrong, it sends outputs a code that sets off that light.
