Frequently Asked Questions

What is the first thing to check when the check engine light comes on?

• Check the gas cap: a loose or damaged cap is the most common simple cause and often clears the light after tightening.
• Confirm fuel level and look for obvious fluid leaks or strange smells that indicate more serious issues.
• Note recent driving behavior or symptoms (loss of power, stalling, rough idle) to describe to our technicians.
• If the light stays on or the vehicle runs poorly, schedule diagnostics with our certified dealership to protect warranty coverage.
