What Causes a Check Engine Light
An illuminated check engine light can be a huge concern for a driver, but the light doesn’t always mean something is critically wrong. The check engine light is connected to the vehicle’s onboard diagnostic system, and can be triggered by something as simple as a loose gas cap up to a severe engine misfire.
Without getting the code read and properly diagnosed, it’s impossible to know exactly what’s causing the problem.
Can I Drive With a Check Engine Light?
Generally, it’s ok to drive for a while with the check engine light illuminated, but there are some exceptions. Make sure to stop driving the vehicle when the light is flashing. A flashing check engine light indicates a misfire, which can quickly cause damage to the catalytic converters. If you notice other driveability issues like stalling or smoking, it’s best to get your vehicle towed.
