The check engine light (service engine soon) comes on and stays on when a problem is detected by the self diagnosis system of your vehicle. Generally, the problem is in the emissions or something that is affecting the effectiveness of the emissions, but other causes can trigger the light to come on, too. To determine the cause, the vehicle will need to be taken to a parts store or a shop that has an OBD2 scanner, or for 1995 and earlier models, an OBD1 scanner, While a scanner will not give you the magic answer, it will give you a code that narrows down the problem area.
when the engine is hot the check engine light came on and the fan(is ok) don't start
yes and i just replaced the pump and i checked the relay but sometimes it will start then i hear a cut back then the check engine light comes on
you can have one installed aftermarket
The light should stay on whenever the key is on and the engine is off.
I have 91 chevy k1500, It does this, Sometimes it will idle a few minutes, then jump to high idle and check engine light comes on, And sometimes its as soon as i start the engine... I was told it was a vacum leak, But im no mechanic
Pull the code that has been set by the ECU with an OBD2 scanner. Once you have the code or codes they will tell you what part is being effected and where to start looking for the problem.
Simply turn on the ignition but do not attempt to start the engine. If the light bulb is good you will see the Check Engine light illuminate and stay on. If you do not see the Check Engine light, the bulb is defective or has been removed.
What engine light? The check engine light should come on when you first start the vehicle and then go out after a few seconds. If it does not the bulb may be burnt out or has been removed.
It is possible the battery in your remote is dying...that signals a fail to start and a Check Engine Light for low remote battery voltage
The process of elimination works. If you have a check engine light, start there.
That is the check engine light, see related questions below.
The computer doesn't allow to start the engine. Check the error code.
