If the light is flashing, the car runs badly, overheats or feels unsafe, stop driving and call for advice. For steady warning lights, book a diagnostic check so the cause can be investigated.
Warning light help
Check engine light
A check engine light means the vehicle has detected a fault. Some are minor, some need urgent attention.
Warning signs
- Flashing check engine light
- Loss of power, rough idle or misfire
- Overheating, smoke or unusual smell
- Multiple dashboard warning lights at once
How diagnostics helps
- Reads fault information and narrows the starting point
- Connects symptoms with real inspection findings
- Helps avoid replacing parts without checking the cause
