It's never a fun experience to see the CHECK ENGINE light illuminate. Not only is it a sign that something is wrong, but it's not easy to tell what the problem could be. The Service Technicians at Nissan of The Main Line will quickly diagnose and communicate the cause. Here are some important things to know...
Check Engine Light has Many Meanings
Basically, the CHECK ENGINE light being on means the engine needs to be checked. The light functions as a "Catch All" for many alerts and warnings.
A Steady Light is Less Urgent
If the light comes on and does not blink, your Nissan is more than likely not in any immediate harm. This means you can keep driving, but you should schedule a service appointment as soon as it is convenient to do so.Â
Check the Gas Cap
One of the most common occurrences for the CHECK ENGINE light to appear is a loose gas cap. Remove and re-apply the cap, tighten it, and restart your engine to see if this is why the light has appeared.Â
Blinking Check Engine Light Means There is an Emergency
If the light is blinking, it means there is a more serious problem; generally with the engine. Call Nissan of the Main Line Service at (610)-695-2900.Â
