Frequently Asked Questions

What is the first thing to check when the check engine light comes on?

• Check fuel cap seating and condition — a loose or damaged cap is a common, simple cause and can clear the light quickly.
• Verify obvious fluids and visual issues: oil level, coolant level and obvious leaks around the engine bay.
• Note any immediate symptoms: loss of power, rough idle or unusual noises — these guide urgency.
