Your car’s check engine light is an indicator that something may be amiss. From minor issues to more serious concerns, this light acts as your car’s way of asking for attention. At BG Automotive, our skilled technicians use advanced diagnostic tools to find and resolve check engine light issues.

The check engine light, or "malfunction indicator lamp," is part of your vehicle's onboard diagnostic system (OBD). It turns on when the system reads an issue affecting your vehicle’s performance, emissions, or safety.

Check Engine Light FAQs

What should I do if my check engine light comes on?

If the light is solid, check your gas cap and schedule a diagnostic as soon as possible. If it’s flashing, pull over safely and call for assistance—this indicates a major issue.

Can I drive with the check engine light on?

It depends. A solid light may allow for limited driving, but a flashing light means immediate service is required.

How much does it cost to fix a check engine light issue?

Costs vary based on the root cause, from simple fixes like tightening a gas cap to more complex repairs like replacing a catalytic converter.
