It can be scary, frustrating, even alarming - the moment when your check engine light comes on.
The check engine light may indicate that there is something seriously wrong with your engine.
The good news is that your local neighborhood Midas dealer can determine the cause of your check engine light, perform the necessary maintenance or repairs, and get your car back on the road safely.
What does the “Check Engine Light” mean?
Modern vehicles come equipped with an onboard computer diagnostic system (OBDII) that monitors your vehicle’s operations. The OBD II system monitors emissions control systems. That means the monitors can detect anything from a loose fuel cap to a clogged catalytic converter. An illuminated check engine light means that the driver should have the vehicle checked as soon as possible; a flashing check engine light means that the driver should park and shut off the vehicle immediately - before serious engine or emissions system damage occurs.
With over 50 years of experience, Midas has the expertise to decipher check engine light codes, resolve the required maintenance or repair issues, and get your car on the road safely – without the worries of an illuminated “check engine light.”
