Is Your Check Engine Light On? What does that really mean?

If your check engine light comes on, it can give you a feeling of dread. Is something about to go wrong? How much is it going to cost? Don't panic — let's look at why the light might be on and what to do about it.

The check engine light illuminates when your vehicle's computer believes there is a problem that could affect — or is affecting — your car's engine control system.

When the light comes on, one or more diagnostic trouble codes are stored in the car's computer. These codes will stay there even if the light goes out. To address a check engine light issue, your mechanic can retrieve the codes by using an OBD-II scanner and then troubleshooting to find the problem.

Don't confuse the check engine light with the maintenance or service light. These lights illuminate when a routine service is due. They are usually triggered by mileage, fuel consumed, or some other type of vehicle-use measurement.

Get it diagnosed by AEA Engineering Solutions.

What to do when your check engine light comes on

Not all check engine light warnings are created equal. Here are four common scenarios, and what they mean:

1. The check engine light comes on only in certain conditions, or flickers.

If the check engine light comes on during city driving but goes off when on the hi-way, then the problem is only happening in city driving conditions. It also might flicker inconsistently. Pay attention to whether or not the vehicle runs or drives any differently when you see the light. If you notice a difference, drive the car as little as possible and take it to your mechanic. If there's no change in vehicle performance, you can drive home, but have it inspected as soon as possible. In this condition, you run a risk of the vehicle stalling and not starting.

2. The check engine light comes on and stays on.

If the check engine light is on constantly during driving with no noticeable driving or performance problems, there is a permanent fault in the engine control system. When this happens, the computer that controls theses system will usually make it so your car runs only in a few lower gears — this is known as "limp-home mode." You should get the car serviced as soon as possible.

3. The check engine light illuminates, stays on, and there are performance problems.

This means that a vital component of your engine management system has a serious problem. It usually involves a component or system needed for the vehicle to run at all. In many cases, the vehicle is not safe to drive at all — it could stop or stall out at any moment. It's best to pull over to a safe place and have the vehicle towed to a repair shop for a thorough inspection.

4. The check engine light comes on and blinks in a steady pattern while driving.

Don't confuse this steady pulsing of the check engine light (usually one or more flashes per second) with a flicker. The check engine light may stay on steadily or it may flash when the vehicle is accelerated. This is very serious. There is a severe failure of the engine control system that is causing the engine to misfire to the point that certain components may get damaged each time the check engine light flashes. Immediately pull over to a safe place and have your vehicle towed to an automotive diagnostician for repair.

Repair Services

Upon completion of the diagnosis, AEA Engineering Solutions can perform the following activities:

Component Level Inspection
There are instances that certain components would not need to be replaced but instead a thorough cleaning and or adjustment is all thats needed.

Wiring Harness & Connector Repair
Deteriorated connectors and wirings are a common point of failure for newer vehicles and at times are the cause of drivability issues. We can do wiring harness repairs for damaged portions and retro fit connectors to fix these issues.

Programming Services
(Limited to Select Vehicle Brands)

Vehicles now and in the recent years have integrated their systems to run off control modules. As like any other component exposed to the harsh environment of our vehicles, these too suffer and would need replacement.

Most vehicles require their existing programs to be grafted to the new or replacement modules for them to communicate properly with the other vehicle components.

We cater to these module programming and we could verify functionality.
