• A check engine light signals that the vehicle’s onboard diagnostics detected an emissions, fuel, ignition, or sensor issue; it does not always mean immediate breakdown.
• Common triggers include evaporative system leaks, oxygen sensor faults, misfires, catalytic system performance, or loose fuel cap—each requires a code read to pinpoint the cause.
