Check Engine Light Diagnosis
Certified Toyota Check Engine Light Diagnosis in Placerville, CA
Of all the lights on the dashboard that turn on, the check engine light is among the most stressful. This is because it requires you to not only bring your car into the shop, but that it requires a full diagnosis, and since it involves your engine it can often mean something has gone very wrong. At Thompsons Toyota, we perform check engine light diagnosis so that you can have peace of mind and less stress about the state of your car.
Why Check Engine Lights Turn On
The check engine light is connected to the computer, which receives input from sensors all throughout the vehicle, especially in the fuel system. When one of those sensors in the fuel line gets an abnormal reading, it sends a code to the computer, which logs the code and turns on your check engine light. This is why check engine light diagnosis isn’t as simple as merely reading the code; the cause of the abnormal reading needs to be found before the problem can be fixed.
How We Diagnose Check Engine Lights
Our certified technicians always start by taking a look at the code the computer logged. This gives them a starting point from which they can look for issues. They go through every possible cause of that abnormal reading and rule out possibilities until they find one they can’t rule out. If they can replicate the problem or visually confirm what happened, then they’re satisfied with the diagnosis and will let you know what’s going on with your car so that you can fix it.
Why Get Check Engine Lights Diagnosed at Thompson Toyota
Check engine lights can mean very simple things have happened, or very serious things have happened. In fact, if your check engine light is blinking, this means that you should pull over, as there is an imminent threat of danger to your engine if you keep driving. Even solid check engine lights should be taken care of, however, as they can be early warning signs of a problem, and it’s best to get those taken care of before they become a serious problem.
