What Your Check Engine Light Means

The light's behavior can tell you about the severity of the problem.

Solid Check Engine Light

This means your car's computer has detected a fault. While not an emergency, you should schedule a diagnosis soon to prevent the issue from worsening or affecting fuel economy.

Flashing Check Engine Light

This indicates a serious problem, usually a severe engine misfire. This is an emergency. You should pull over safely and have your vehicle towed to prevent expensive catalytic converter damage.

Reduced Performance

Along with the light, you may notice your car is sluggish, hesitating, or getting poor gas mileage. These are signs the underlying problem is actively affecting your vehicle's performance.
