Engine Diagnostic Service in Raleigh, NC

Diagnosing Your Check Engine Light

When it comes to check engine light service, the sooner you bring your vehicle to USA Automotive in Raleigh, NC the sooner you’ll experience worry-free driving.

The check engine light usually comes on without warning and catches you off guard. This might bring about a sense of panic in some drivers, causing them to worry or overreact in response. We certainly want you to take action, but we also want you to know that USA Automotive can take care of any problem that we find with your vehicle.

If your check engine light ever comes on, we should be your first thought. All you need are the correct answers and the correct repair solutions–answering ‘what’s wrong?’ and ‘how can we fix it?’

Our team of ASE certified auto technicians can provide all of these answers and repairs, usually in the same visit. Since there are often no other warning signs, some owners might think it’s okay to continue driving with a check engine light alert.

That little, dark yellow light on your dashboard is an early indication of a problem that should be addressed immediately. It’s designed to give you enough time to get to USA Automotive before any further damage is done to your vehicle. The check engine light is not necessarily signaling a breakdown, but being proactive will certainly prevent a breakdown or a costly repair.

Just ‘reading the trouble code’ is not an engine diagnostic test for the Check Engine light coming on.  When the light comes on, it may stay on for several days or may come on for just a few minutes and then go off on it’s on. The computer in the vehicle is constantly doing multiple self-test to make sure the vehicle is operating correctly.  The check engine light may illuminate in your dash for several reasons, but the mains issues we see are due to a Fuel, Mechanical or an Emission issue.  Remember, if the Check Engine light in your dash is Flashing (like your turn signal blinking on & off) this is a problem and needs immediate attention before damage occurs to vital components on your vehicle.

Your Engine Diagnostic Test

There are a number of things that we may look at when we run an engine diagnostic test to help us determine what is triggering your check engine light to come on. Some of these include:

• Oxygen sensor malfunctions
• Loose, damaged or missing gas cap
• Airflow sensor malfunctions
• Transmission issues
• Worn out and/or failing engine components

Damaged hoses causing Vacuum leaks

• And more
