Common Reasons Your Check Engine Light May Turn On
Some frequent causes include:
-
Oxygen Sensor Failure: This sensor measures oxygen levels in your exhaust. A faulty reading can lead to reduced fuel economy and higher emissions.
-
Loose or Damaged Fuel Cap: Surprisingly common and simple to fix, a loose fuel cap can trigger the check engine light right after refueling.
-
Catalytic Converter Issues: The catalytic converter transforms harmful gases into less harmful emissions. Excessive carbon build-up or engine problems can cause it to fail, something we specialize in repairing at Greer Automotive.
-
Ignition Coil and Spark Plug Problems: Your ignition coil sends the electrical charge to your spark plugs. Failure in this system can cause misfires, poor performance, and higher emissions.
-
Mass Airflow Sensor Malfunction: This sensor measures the amount of air entering your engine. A faulty MAF sensor can lead to rough idling, poor acceleration, and starting issues.
No matter the cause, the ASE-Certified technicians at Greer Automotive are equipped with advanced diagnostic tools to accurately pinpoint and fix the issue.
