It could be a "dummy Light" meaning every certin amount of mile the maker of the car sets it to remind the woner it needs to be serviced or something could be wrong
nothing at all, if you want almost any car repair shop will check your cars computer for free.
It is indicating that there is a fault with the engine of the car. You need to take it to a garage for repair/service.
check your fluids my camaros light was on and i ignored it i blew my engine
Possibly, but not likely. Have a compression test run.
This happens when there is an Active Misfire, or a urgent pending service matter. Get your codes checked.
With a scan tool, or try turning key on, off, on, off, on and counting the blinks of the check engine light. blink, blink, blink, pause, blink would be 31.
On some if you turn key on, off, on, off, on. The check engine light may start to flash the code. blink, blink, bink, pause blink would be 31.
A flashing engine light is usually a misfire.
Misfire detection.
The OBD2 system will not BLINK codes for you. It requires a engine scanner to read the codes. HAVE ENGINE SCANED. Some parts stores will do that for free.
first you nee to check and see if your car is referred to as OBDI or OBDII if its ODBI then you start with the car off.. turn the key to run but do not start the engine.. at this point you have less that 5 seconds to push the gas pedall all the way to the floor and press the overdrive button five times... then the check engine light will stay on.. and then blink... next its going to blink out the code for you for ex. blink-pause-blink blink-pause blink blink blink-pause blink n that would mean the problem code is 1231 just Google BMW problem codes and use that dcode to find out what the issue is..
It's telling you that you have a problem. Get a code scanner and find out what the problem is. that's a misfire .i had tht problem and i changed the spk plug cable
