Check Engine Light causes and repairs in Beaufort / Savannah

Seeing your check engine light illuminate on your dashboard can be concerning, and it can indicate various issues, some minor and others more critical. At our service center near Bluffton, we're here to help diagnose and resolve these problems promptly. 

Common Causes of Check Engine Lights: 
  • Loose or Faulty Gas Cap: A loose, missing, or broken gas cap can trigger the check engine light, affecting fuel efficiency and emissions. Replacing the gas cap is a simple fix.
  • Failing Catalytic Converter: Over time, especially in high-mileage vehicles, the catalytic converter can become clogged, impacting fuel efficiency and overall performance. 
  • Spark Plugs or Wires: Worn-out spark plugs or wires can lead to misfires, decreased fuel efficiency, and poor engine performance. 
  • Oxygen Sensor or Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor Issues: Damaged oxygen or MAF sensors can disrupt the air-fuel ratio, leading to poor fuel efficiency and engine problems.   

Check Engine Light Behaviors You Might Encounter: 
  • Constant Illumination: Indicates a problem that needs prompt attention. 
  • Performance Drop: If the light is on and your vehicle's performance has decreased, it might be in limp mode to prevent further damage. Immediate service is necessary. 
  • Blinking Light: A continuously blinking light signals a severe issue; pull over safely and consider towing your vehicle to our service center.
