Check engine light on. How do I fix it? - Cars & Trucks

  • Amanda Drew
    Amanda Drew Dec 20, 2017

    My check engine light has also come on, except mine turns on and off all throughout my drive. I am also wondering how to fix it. The best thing to do might just be for us to find somewhere that does car repair and get it looked at and fixed. http://oakleysgarage.com/services.html

Your car has a computer that receives input from different automotive systems. When these systems send the incorrect input (something is cracked) the computer records the problem and turns the service light on. Which needs to be fixed.
Well, to fix this issue you need an OBD Reader (On-Board Diagnostic Reader). A reader will cost you about $60.00. Which is expensive. So, in my opinion, you have to go to the service center to fix the Check Engine Light.
In Athens, my trustworthy car maintenance service center is the Go Car Craft visit website at https://gocarcraft.com/
I recommend it because have years of experience with them.

Run the fault codes to find the reason for the fault ---could be engine or transmission as the light reports on both---repair/replace the fault , then use a scan tool to put the light out

Check engine light came on week ago. changed battery today and now check engine light not on. Will check engine light come on later?

The check engine light may come on later. When the check engine light comes on the computer in your car logs a code. This trouble code may or may not cause drivability issues. The computer in your car always tries to fix the problem. If the check engine light is not on, there is not a problem. It may come on later if it detects another problem. Changing the battery could have fixed some problems. The ground system on the cars cause a lot of problems for technitians. If the trouble light is not on, don't look to spend a lot of money to look for problems that the computer is not picking up.

How do you turn off the check engine light on 2006 toyota tacoma

The easiest way is to disconnect the battery for about five minutes. This will reset the computer and clear any codes. Once you connect the battery you need to take the car out for a drive and let the computer relearn your driving habits. It you have something wrong with the car the check engine light will come on again. You will need to get the error code and fix the problem for the light to stay off permanently. Most car parts places will check your computer for error codes free.
