What Your Check Engine Light Diagnosis Means at Bernards CDJR

What to Do if Your Check Engine Light Is On

Check engine lights can be illuminated for various reasons. However, you should know the differences in the light to ensure you get your vehicle the care it needs. Generally, the check engine light will light up solid and stationary, not blinking at all. This usually means there is not an immediate problem that needs to be fixed right away, but a diagnosis is still highly recommended as soon as possible. If the light is blinking or flashing, it is crucial to come into Bernard’s Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM immediately. This means that the vehicle has some sort of system failure that will need attention before any other commute. If not dealt with quickly, the emissions and other systems could become greatly affected and could even put the driver and passengers in danger.
