Haynes Check Engine Light Tips:
1.The Check Engine light tells you the computer found a
problem with your vehicle's running condition.
2. If the vehicle is driving OK, a Check Engine light
is not a reason to pull over, but fix the problem soon.
3. In testing areas, you will fail your
emissions test if the Check Engine light is on.
4. Fuel economy generally suffers when
the Check Engine light is on.
5. An extended warranty covers
emissions-related components that can trigger the Check Engine light.
More information is at:
epa.gov/obd/warranties.htm.
6. When the Check Engine light is on,
one or more "trouble code(s)" are stored in the computer.
7. You can read and erase trouble codes
using inexpensive code-reader tools from auto-parts stores; the tools are very
easy to use.
8. The problems identified by the codes
are frequently easy to fix (such as a loose gas cap), but some are complex,
requiring professional diagnosis.
9. A trouble code indicates a circuit
where the problem was identified, not necessarily the component itself.
Diagnosis is often necessary.
10. The Haynes OBD-II Techbook (Book
#10206) is your source for late-model code information. If you have a 1995 or
earlier model, get Book #10205. Both books can be found on this site.
