The check engine light on your 1996 Ford Aspire could be triggered by various issues, such as a faulty oxygen sensor, a loose or damaged gas cap, or problems with the engine's emissions system. It’s also possible that there are issues with the ignition system, fuel system, or other engine components. To diagnose the exact cause, it's best to use an OBD-II scanner to retrieve any error codes stored in the vehicle's computer. Addressing the underlying issue will help turn off the check engine light and ensure your car runs smoothly.
The check engine light is there to tell you when the computer has stored a diagnostic code. Use a code scanner to read the code and find out what's wrong. We have a 94 and 96 Ford Aspire. The check engine light stays on most of the time. At inspection time, we take it to our mechanic and they use a computer to turn the light off. It seems to be a defect in many Ford Aspires, as our mechanic says nothing is wrong with either car. We are constantly driving them.
