Frequently Asked Questions

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

• Check the fuel cap: a loose or damaged cap is a common, easy-to-fix cause and can trigger an emissions code.
• Look for obvious symptoms: reduced power, rough idle, or strange noises — these indicate urgency.

• Document recent fuel or maintenance events, then schedule a diagnostic at our service center for a precise scan.
• Remember: any warranty-covered repairs must be performed at a certified dealership to maintain coverage and long-term savings.
